Full Description


A serious rethinking of theology from a global perspective This book is about the unique challenges that religion, especially Christian theology, faces in today's changing world. In turning their minds to this pressing topic, the contributing scholars, who come from different contexts and continents, explore the relation of globalization to Christian mission, human solidarity, and ecumenism. As the title indicates, this book is keenly interested in a theology "for all people, " who now find themselves living in a postmodern, globalized world. The title also reflects the nature of Christianity as a universal faith guided by Jesus' Great Commission. The essays in this volume were written in honor of Viggo Mortensen, a creative and highly respected "theological character" who has always tried to be a theologian for all people, consciously open to the particular challenges of the times.
