'What Does Theology Do, Actually? Observing Theology and the Transcultural' is to be the first in a series of 5 books, each presented under the same question – 'What Does Theology Do, Actually?', with vols. 2–5 focusing on one of the theological subdisciplines. This first volume proceeds from the observation of a need for a highly inflected 'trans-cultural', and not simply 'inter-cultural', set of perspectives in theological work and training.
The revolution brought about across the humanities disciplines through globalization and the recognition of 'multiple modernities' has introduced a diversity of overlapping cultural content and multiple cultural and religious belongings not only into academic work in the humanities and social sciences, but into the Christian churches as well.
