»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.
