Overview
"Should Christianity's theological face remain largely European and North American in the twenty-first century in the wake of the expansion of Christianity in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America? The question about the ""theological face"" of Christianity cannot be ignored. For too long African, Asian, and Latin American theologians have been left out of mainstream theological discussions. Few standard textbooks on Christian theology acknowledge the unique contributions theologians from these continents have made to global Christianity. Introducing Christian Theologies: Voices from Global Christian Communities is a two-volume textbook that alters the predominantly European and North American ""theological face"" of Christianity by interacting with the voices of Christian communities from around the globe. Introducing Christian Theologies explores the works of key theologians from across the globe, highlighting their unique contributions to Christian theology and doctrine."

Reviews
It is a rare treat to read about theological 'classics' such as Irenaeus, Augustine, and Calvin, juxtaposed with more recent greats - from Ratzinger to Gutierrez, from Zizioulas to Solle, from Mbiti to Samartha. Ezigbo's comprehensive yet succinct text introduces students to core doctrines of the faith while sampling the growing theological vigour coming from Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Alexander Chow, Chancellor's Fellow in World Christianity, School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh Introducing Christian Theologies is a feast! It covers the major doctrines well while being clear, accessible, engaging, and attractive. It is careful to describe faithfully differing views, but not too timid to evaluate them. It includes the standard canon of theologians from early church figures ... [but] moves thoroughly into the twenty-first century with numerous contemporary theologians and debates. Timothy Larsen, McManis Professor of Christian Thought, Wheaton College, Illinois
