Postkoloniale Theologien II () von Andreas Nehring

Postcolonial theologies have positioned themselves over recent decades as an innovative new direction and critical inquiry not only in the field of intercultural theology, but also in practically every subdiscipline within theology. Such theologies are concerned with overcoming Eurocentric perspectives that sometimes shape scholarship even today. The aim of postcolonial theologies is to decolonize theological work. While the first volume (2013) gathered together the most important translated texts in this field, the present volume offers well-founded essays on every field within theology. An inventory of postcolonial theologies is now available for the first time. Scholars in the various subdisciplines within theology provide information about the state of the debate in their own fields and sound out the opportunities and limitations represented by postcolonial theologies.

Prof. Andreas Nehring teaches religious studies and mission studies at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. Simon Wiesgickl was an Assistant at the Chair of Religious Studies and Mission Studies at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg from 2013 to 2016.
