It is now widely acknowledged that Anglicanism, far from being centred on western contexts is a worldwide phenomenon, with some of its liveliest corners located in the global south. Yet the Anglican theology which is taught in institutions is still focused overwhelmingly on a handful of British and North American voices. By exploring the work of eighteen tricontinential and marginalized Anglican theologians, this book begins to correct widespread bias in Anglican theology towards Britain and North Atlantic contexts. The chapters it gathers consider the methods, concerns and contributions to Anglican thinkers from Africa, Asia, Pasifika, South America and eastern European settings, amongst minoritized migrants to North Atlantic countries. Chapters include Esther Mombo on Jenny Te Paa-Daniel, Michael Jagessar on Mukti Barton, and Keun-Joo Christine Pae on Kwok Pui-lan.Blogpost: Peniel Rajkumar argues that the issue isn't that large numbers of global Anglican theologians aren't speaking, it's that the Western church isn't listening.
