To that end, \u003ci\u003eAn Asian Introduction to the New Testament\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book of its kind to take full account of the multireligious, multiethnic, multilingual, multicultural, and pluralistic contexts in which Asian Christians find themselves. Into this already complex world, issues of poverty, casteism, class structure, honor and shame aspects, colonial realities, discrimination against women, natural calamities and ecological crises, and others add more layers of complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePerceiving the New Testament in light of these realities enables the reader to see them in a fresh way while understanding that the Jesus Movement emerged from similar social situations. Readers will find able guides in an impressive array of more than twenty scholars from across Asia. Working with volume editor Johnson Thomaskutty, the authors make a clear case: the kernels of Christianity sprouted from Asian roots, and we must read the New Testament considering those roots in order to understand it afresh today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Johnson Thomaskutty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1506462693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781506462691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 7.50w x 1.70d","brand":"Johnson Thomaskutty","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44042906697983,"sku":"9781506462691","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a4d6ac1-ebf5-462f-96bf-700863803a96.jpg?v=1684964202","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-asian-introduction-to-the-johnson-thomaskutty-9781506462691","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
