Faith & Cultures Series |
|
The Faith and Cultures Series deals with questions that arise as Christian faith attempts to respond to its new global
reality. For centuries Christianity and the church were identified with European cultures. Although the roots of Christian tradition lie deep in
Semitic cultures and Africa, and although Asian influences on it are well documented, that original diversity was widely forgotten as the church
took shape in the West. |
Today, as the churches of the Americas, Asia, and Africa take their place alongside older churches in the Mediterranean and
North Atlantic cultures, they claim the right to express Christian faith in their own idioms, thought patterns, and cultures. To provide a forum for
better understanding this process, the Orbis Faith and Cultures Series publishes books that illuminate the range of questions that arise from
this global challenge.
