Asia's Women Theologians

Abstract

Over the past two decades, Asian women theologians have been emerging as shapers of theology at the Asian context as well as the global realm. Their groundbreaking works and writings have addressed critical issues in a changing world. Coming from a wide range of expertise in the field of theology, and from an Asian perspective, they contribute to the conversation among women and men in the world church. They are first and second generation of women theologians from Asia who write on a variety of topics and issues, and not only on feminist theology or on women’s issues or gender. Many Asian women theologians work in other continents. However, most of them are rooted in Asia in their theologizing. In this issue, we present not only women theologians working in Asia, but those working in other continents as well, who keep alive in their theological thinking their relation with and rootedness in Asia.
