Essays in Contextual Theology is a collection of essays that reflect on the doing of contextual theology from several perspectives. After a general introductory essay, subsequent essays reflect on topics such as contextual theology and prophetic dialogue, criteria for orthodoxy, the nature of tradition, the role of culture, the dynamics of conversion, and the way theology is being done in World Christianity. The collection closes with an autobiographical essay tracing the author’s journey to becoming a “global theologian.”

"(...) the slim volume provides an overview of B.’s approach to theological orientation, akin to a methodology handbook. It can serve a useful introduction to B.’s theological method for graduate students." - Anh Q. Tran, SJ, in: Theological Studies Volume 80.2 (2019).
"An excellent book for a primer for all students of contextual theology, it convincingly shows connections between contextual theology and other theological areas, such as practical theology, ecclesiology, orthodoxy, culture, trinitarian theology, and theology of religion." - Pavol Bargár, in: Mission Studies Volume 36:1 (2019), pp. 145-146.
