Bhabha, among others. Two types of anti-colonialist resistance within Asian theologies are identified and interrogated. The first is nationalistic in kind, operating from a theological language that is binaristic and oppositional. The second is illustrated by that which was mounted by the three Chinese Christian thinkers whose indigenous theologies are analysed in this book as case studies. This second kind, postcolonial in its character, is characterized by collaboration rather than antagonistic binarism. In spite of much dissimilarity between these two kinds of resistance, the book argues that they are similarly anti-colonialist, and both can be equally valid in resisting colonial forces. Given that the binarism and antagonism imbedded in the Asian theological movement are historically contingent, and that the sole reliance on this resistance has made the movement self-ensnaring, the book suggests that the Asian theological movement widen its choice of colonial-resistant strategies. Drawing attention to the otherwise subtle politics of the Asian theological indigenization discourse, this book addresses the relationship between postcolonialism and Asia contextual theology, and is of interest to students and scholars of Asian Religion and Philosophy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Theology $z Asia. 650 0 $a Christianity and culture $z Asia. 650 0 $a Postcolonial theology $z Asia. 650 0 $a Postcolonialism $z Asia. 650 0 $a Passive resistance $z Asia. 650 7 $a RELIGION / History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Christianity and culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00859660 650 7 $a Passive resistance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01054436 650 7 $a Postcolonial theology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01762430 650 7 $a Postcolonialism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01073032 650 7 $a Theology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149559 651 7 $a Asia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240495 830 0 $a Routledge studies in Asian religion and philosophy ; $v 11. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217030255.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5F80832EBEE311E3B118CA8BDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
