Inhalt: Christianity's centre of gravity has irreversibly shifted from the West to the global South. What's more, in our globalized world, cultures have become mixed and are continually in flux: our society has become a multicultural hybrid. Within this context, the claim that Western academic theology is universally valid, is no longer tenable. Is this theology responding properly to the realities of men and women whose cultural roots are in Latin-America, Africa and Asia? The irruption of Third World, feminist and/or postcolonial theology expands our theological view to a large circle of creative and self-confident male and female theologians from various cultural backgrounds who introduce various new methodologies to the theological toolbox. Importantly, their approaches take into account issues of gender, race, class, sexuality, and colonial history as they guide us into an intercultural theology.
