| Résumé: | The article first highlights seven common elements of Asian Christianities, namely, foreignness, colonialist legacy, extreme poverty, ecological degradation, minority status, co-existence with communist and socialist regimes, and ubiquitous migration. The second part suggests a method for developing Asian Christian theologies, with a triple mediation: socialanalytic, hermeneutical, and practical mediations. Extreme poverty calls for a liberationist theology; ubiquitous migration a theology of God as the Primordial Migrant; colonialist legacy an inculturated theology; minority status a theology in dialogue with other religions; the presence of communist and atheist regimes a new theology of mission; Pentecostal/Charismatic presence a vigorous pneumatology; and ecological degradation a theology of care for the Earth. |
