Publisher's Synopsis
The Global Christ by Roy Lawson Tawes is a thought-provoking book that explores the concept of Christ as a global figure. The author argues that the traditional understanding of Christ as a Western, white, and male figure is limiting and does not reflect the diversity of the global community. Instead, Tawes presents a vision of Christ that is inclusive, diverse, and global in nature.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the traditional understanding of Christ and its limitations. The second part explores the concept of Christ as a global figure and the implications of this for theology and practice. The third part offers practical suggestions for how Christians can embrace a global understanding of Christ in their own lives and communities.Throughout the book, Tawes draws on a wide range of sources, including biblical texts, historical and cultural examples, and contemporary scholarship. He argues that a global understanding of Christ is essential for Christians to fully embrace their role as global citizens and to work towards a more just and equitable world.Overall, The Global Christ is a thought-provoking and challenging book that offers a fresh perspective on the traditional understanding of Christ. It is a must-read for anyone interested in theology, global issues, and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
