Through a critique of Ratzinger's theology, this book draws attention to the importance of theological discourses originating from non-European contexts. Mong highlights the gap between a dogmatic understanding of faith and the pastoral realities of the Asian church, as well as the difficulties faced by Asian theologians trying to make their voices heard in a church still dominated by Western thinking. While Mong concurs with much of Ratzinger's analysis of the problems in modern society - such as the aggressive secularism and crisis of faith in Europe - he brings attention to the realities of religious pluralism in Asia, which require the church to adopt a different approach in its theological formulations and pastoral practices.","brand":"Mong Ih-ren Ambrose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49056463454459,"sku":"9780227176405","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_cf7eeffd-7e87-4297-a976-10e65154820f.jpg?v=1783499546","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/dialogue-derailed-9780227176405","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
