The Beasts, the Graves, and the Ghosts
At the heart of the gospel is the message of the incarnation: God translating himself into the context of human culture and language so we might know him. Far from coming to an end with Christ’s life on earth, this process of contextualization is ongoing, reoccurring every time the gospel encounters the particularities of society and culture. In this book, Hann Tzuu Tan explores the significance of contextualized preaching within the Chinese context. Against the backdrop of three major festivals – the Spring Festival, the Qing Ming Festival, and the Hungry Ghost Festival – Tan examines the practices of six experienced Chinese preachers in order to demonstrate the theological and practi...

동양의 눈으로 읽는 로마서
“로마서에서 더 이상 새로운 이야기를 읽어 낼 수 있을지 의심하는 독자들은 이 책 앞에서 자신의 편견을 내려놓아야 할 것이다.” * 크리스채너티 투데이(Christianity Today ) 2020 올해의 책 (성경 연구 분야) 선정 ‘동양의 눈으로 로마서를 읽는다’는 것은 무슨 뜻인가? 저자는 어떻게 동아시아 문화가 바울의 가장 복잡한 편지인 로마서를 이해하는 데 도움이 되는지를 보여 준다. 그는 일반적인 서양 문화에 비해 전통적 동아시아 문화의 일부 가치들이 1세기 성경 세계의 문화 가치관에 더 가깝다고 주장하며, 로마서를 해석하는 기존의 성경 신학에 아시아 학자들의 연구와 자신이 다년간 동아시아에서 살면서 사역했던 경험을 결합한다. 동양 문화의 렌즈로 성경을 읽을 때, 우리는 특히 ‘명예’와 ‘수치’라는 개념이 바울의 메시지와 선교에 얼마나 많은 영향을 미치는지를 보게 된다.
Reading Romans with Eastern Eyes
According to Brad Vaughn, some traditional East Asian cultural values are closer to those of the first-century biblical world than common Western cultural values. In this work Vaughn demonstrates how paying attention to East Asian culture provides a helpful lens for interpreting Paul's most complex letter, and we see how honor and shame shape so much of Paul's message and mission.

Sharia Transformations
Few symbols in today’s world are as laden and fraught as sharia—an Arabic-origin term referring to the straight path, the path God revealed for humans, the norms and rules guiding Muslims on that path, and Islamic law and normativity as enshrined in sacred texts or formal statute. Yet the ways in which Muslim men and women experience the myriad dimensions of sharia often go unnoticed and unpublicized. So too do recent historical changes in sharia judiciaries and contemporary strategies on the part of political and religious elites, social engineers, and brand stewards to shape, solidify, and rebrand these institutions. Sharia Transformations is an ethnographic, historical, and theoretica...
The Divine Bureaucracy and Disenchantment of Social Life
This book traces the expansion of Islamisation within a modern and plural state such as Malaysia. It elaborates on how elements of theology, sacred space, resources, and their interactivity with secular instruments such as legislative, electoral, and new social technological platforms are all instrumentally employed to consolidate a divine bureaucracy. The book makes the point that religious social movements and political parties are only few of the important agents of Islamisation in society. The other is the modern and secular state structure itself. Weber’s legal rational bureaucracy or Hegel’s ethical bureaucracy predominantly characterises a modern feature of governmentality. In thi...
