Worshipping at the Feet of Our Ancestors—Hendrik Kraemer and the Making of Contextual Theology in South Asia

Niles (constructive theology, Eden Theological Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri) explains the recent concept of four theological orientations, or zones: orthodox, liberal, neo-orthodox, and revisionist. She looks at the shift from the neo-orthodox zone to the revisionist zone, beginning with a theology articulated by Hendrick Kraemer (1888-1965) in the West, then theological figures outside the Western Christian centers. In particular, she focuses on the 1938 International Missionary Conference in Tambaram, South India. There is no index. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
