Margins in Conversation: Methodological Discourses in Theological Disciplines

The book is concerned with the shift in Christian theology as a result of the recognition of the multiplicity of experiences of the communities in India and theology’s insistence on privileging the voices of those at the margins. The volume contains some fresh theological insights that encompass studies in biblical hermeneutics, communication studies, culture studies, Dalit studies, Christian social ethics, mission and ecumenics, tribal studies, women’s studies and other broad areas. The contributions by scholars emphasise the need for biblical studies to be related to the real life crises of the marginalised and their struggles for life, dignity and power. They take up themes like the sensibility of the Dalit Christian biblical hermeneutical stance in the current theological debate, necessity and sensibility of tribal theology and key hurdles in eco-theology.
