How do utopian dreams measure up to a Christian hope for a better world? How do Western Christians best understand and support the struggling Chinese church? In short, what can the apostle Paul have to do with Chairman Mao? K. K. Yeo brings Pauline eschatology and Maoist utopianism into conversation. He shows how Maoism changed and incorporated Chinese and Marxist views of history and power and compares the result to the message of Paul and the Christian West. New Testament and theological scholars and students, those interested in world affairs, and those who wish to better appreciate the church in China, will learn from and be challenged by this book.

Though the global centre of Christianity has been shifting south and east over the past few decades, very few theological resources have dealt with the seismic changes afoot. The Majority World Theology series seeks to remedy that lack by gathering well-regarded Christian thinkers from around the world to discuss the significance of Christian teaching in their respective contexts. The contributors to this volume reflect deeply on the role of the Holy Spirit in both the church and the world in dialogue with their respective contexts and cultures. Taking African, Asian, and Latin American cultural contexts into account gives rise to fresh questions and insights regarding the Spirit's work as witnessed in the world and demonstrates how the theological heritage of the West is not adequate alone to address the theological necessities of communities worldwide.

Though the makeup of the church worldwide has undeniably shifted south and east over the past few decades, very few "theological" resources have taken account of these changes. "Jesus without Borders" -- the first volume in the emerging Majority World Theology series -- begins to remedy that lack, bringing together select theologians and biblical scholars from various parts of the world to discuss the significance of Jesus in their respective contexts.Offering an excellent glimpse of contemporary global, evangelical dialogue on the person and work of Jesus, this volume epitomizes the best Christian thinking from the Majority World in relation to Western Christian tradition and Scripture. The contributors engage throughout with historic Christian confessions -- especially the Creed of Chalcedon -- and unpack their continuing relevance for Christian teaching about Jesus today.Watch a 2015 interview with two of the editors of this book here:.
