Christianity and Cultures

This volume is a way of marking an important milestone in the relatively short story of the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies (OCMS). The papers here, have been, exclusively, sourced from Transformation, a quarterly journal of OCMS, and seek to provide a tripartite view of Christianity's engagement with cultures by focusing on the question: How is Christian thinking being formed or reformed through its interaction with the varied contexts it encounters? As Christianity has, taken and still takes shape in multiple contexts, it naturally results in a variety of expressions and emphases. One can gain an appreciation of these by studying different strands of theological-missiological thinking, sociopolitical engagement, and forms of family relationships in interaction with host cultures.
