Trajectories in Intercultural Theology

Abstract

The article looks at the development of Intercultural Theology over the past 40 years.I nterest in intercultural theologies has been evident since the mid-1970s. Called by various names throughout this more than forty-year history— contextual theologies, local theologies, theologies of inculturation—the initial focus in these theological approaches was to provide a more appropriate vehicle for Christian faith that was attuned to cultural circumstances outside Europe and North America by attending more to the cultural context in which theological thinking was to be articulated.
