It seeks to respond to the question of how Asian Christians are being challenged to formulate their understanding of the relationship between Christianity and other world religions. It also reflects upon the implications of this relationship for doing Christian mission in Asia in the midst of the resurgence and renewed vitality of indigenous religions in postcolonial Asia.
