Asia-Pacific Theologies and Cultural studies

While searching for some of the texts required for the course I am going to attend next week, I came across this:

The WSCF-AP Book Series Publication Project started in 1976 in order to provide students and youth with wholistic understanding of society and church in the Asia Pacific region as well as the world.

The Book Series is a theological attempt to articulate ecumenical vision and mission in the context of Asia-Pacific society where poverty, hunger, oppression, injustice and human rights violation prevail. The Book Series addresses the critical issues of the Asia Pacific context.

It includes the peasantry and their social revolution; theology of the People’s Struggle (Philippines); Minjung Theology (Korea); women’s struggle; interfaith dialogue; peace and conflict transformation; education and liberation; as well as ecumenism.

Some of the titles there are from WCC written in the 80’s. Most authors came from Christian traditions outside of Evangelicalism. Nonetheless, it should be a good source of Christian materials written by and for those living in the Asia-Pacific.
