He is the coauthor of Routes and Radishes; coeditor of Expect Great Things, Attempt Great Things; and author of Polycentric Missiology. He serves on the board of the Foundation for Theological Education in Southeast Asia (FTESEA) and the Evangelical Missiological Society (EMS). He has been to over sixty countries on every continent.
As Christianity's center of gravity has shifted to the Majority World in the twenty-first century, many younger churches in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are now coming of age. With this maturing comes the ability to theologize for themselves, not simply to mimic what they have been taught from the West. As theology is an attempt to articulate through human language and culture and contexts the timeless truths of the eternal and transcendent God, Majority World churches have much to offer the West and the world, as they contribute to a greater understanding of the Lord. Here is a collection of chapters exhibiting local theologizing from around the world, not just from the "big three" non-Western continents but also including the Middle East and indigenous North America.
