Description: What Does Theology Do, Actually? Observing Theology and the Transcultural is to be the first in a series of 5 books, each presented under the same question - What Does Theology Do, Actually?, with vols. 2-5 focusing on one of the theological subdisciplines. This first volume proceeds from the observation of a need for a highly inflected trans-cultural, and not simply inter-cultural, set of perspectives in theological work and training. The revolution brought about across the humanities disciplines through globalization and the recognition of multiple modernities has introduced a diversity of overlapping cultural content and multiple cultural and religious belongings not only into academic work in the humanities and social sciences, but into the Christian churches as well.
