Pieris confronts two of the most urgent and complex questions facing Christians today - so many poor people and so many religions. He believes that the approaches of the Christian Churches to these questions will determine whether Christianity will continue to have any relevance for Asia or not.
The depth and radicality that make Aloysius Pieris one of the most exciting and original Asian Christian thinkers today are well represented in this book. Writing as an adept in Buddhist and Western philosophy, Pieris's insights bring into sharp focus the issues facing Christian theology, particularly in Christology and women's issues, in Asia today.
