Synopsis

Engaging the World deals with the lived experiences and expressions of Christians in diverse communities across the globe. Christian communities do not live in a vacuum but in complex, diverse social-cultural contexts; within wider communities of different faith and social realities. Power, identity and community are key issues in considering Christian communities in contemporary contexts. With its focus on immigrant Christianities this volume explores ethical problems manifest in world society. By covering issues of poverty alleviation, ethnicity or epidemics such as HIV and AIDS, the authors bridge concepts of holistic mission with the social engagement of secular actors in society.
