Description
Shoki Coe’s lectures on mission, published here for the first time since it was delivered in Princeton Theological Seminary in 1970, introduce a new generation of Asian Christians to Shoki Coe, the father of contextualizing theology. Coe delivered his Students’ Lectures on Mission at a critical turning point in his intellectual development and in the turbulent nation-building history in Asia.
The three lectures, “Text and Context in Missions,” “Missio Dei” and “Christian Mission in the Context of Asian Nation Building,” transcribed and edited here, underline the key role that the Asia Pacific plays in world Christianity. They also shed light to Coe’s train of thoughts that led to the birth of contextualising theology.
To place Coe’s lectures within the wider canvass of Asian theological development, this book includes one of Coe’s most important essays “My Political Involvement,” a tribute by the leading Asian ethnomusicologist Loh I-to, and Michael Poon’s introductory essay on “Shoki Coe and the Rise of Asia Pacific Christianity.”
“The present crisis in mission is due largely to the fact that we have come to the end of an era and the beginning of another, in the history of both of the church and of the world. It is at this critical point of transition that the question of self-identity and self-identification, the question of faithfulness and the question of relevance of missions have to be raised.”

What Young Asian Theologians Are Thinking
(CSCA Christianity in Southeast Asia Series No. 7)
Editor:
Leow Theng Huat
Publication Year:
2014
Price:
$15.00
Description
It is not always easy to discover exactly what young Asian theologians are thinking (to paraphrase Douglas J. Elwood). Overwhelmed with commitments, young theologians find it difficult to pursue their research interests. This book is the result of an invitation to a few young theologians to pause and reflect upon the key theological issues they are concerned with in their respective contexts.
The nine articles cover a broad range of topics. The first section (“Text and Context”) focus on specific portions of the Biblical text and how they speak to various parts of Asia. The second, entitled “Theology in Context”, propose ways of meaningfully engaging the Christian faith with the contributors’ own contexts in China, Hong Kong and Thailand. The final three articles “On Terminology and Methodology” deal with basic issues of how we should explicate key concepts and undertake the theological task. The last portion contains three responses from senior scholars.

Description
This volume of collected essays by Professor Loh I-to, the foremost Asian church musician and ethnomusicologist, introduces a new generation of Christians in Asia and beyond the theological vision and issues of contextualisation of Asian liturgy and music. The essays, edited and introduced by Michael Poon, span over 25 years of research, music composition, and teaching. The book also includes a foreword by Lo Lung Kwong and an interpretative essay by Lim Swee Hong. It makes an ideal textbook for seminary courses on Asian church music and theological contextualisation.
Professor Loh I-to’s pioneering work in promoting church music and Asian theology with local cultural resources that can be distinctly identified as ‘truly Asia’ deserves our highest applause and respect.
Thu En Yu (Principal of Sabah Theological Seminary, Malaysia)
For many in the global ecumenical family Professor Loh I-to represents one of most outstanding promoters of Asian church music today.
Dietrich Werner (Programme Coordinator ETE/World Council of Churches)
What would the world church be like if Asian Christian found their voice? I-to Loh has given us a sense of the musical richness of the diverse cultures that make up the largest and most complex continent on the globe.

This volume of essays by eight Asian women theologians reflect on the role of women in the Asian Church. The writers offer biblical, theological, and practical ways in which women and men can work courageously together for the common good of the Church, family, and society. These essays from China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Singapore seek to contextualize Western feminist theology for the Asian context so that there can be a paradigm shift from patriarchy to partnership.

The main body of this volume comprises three essays by Ng Kam Weng, which were presented originally as the 2006 Annual Lectures of the Centre for the Study of Christianity in Asia (CSCA), the mission research arm of Trinity Theological College, Singapore. They explore the possibility of democratic pluralism from within the predominantly Islamic context of Malaysia, and propose the concept of Covenant as a promising basis for collaboration between Christianity and Islam. Interacting with a broad spectrum of socio-political thinkers, these lectures probe the dynamics of democratic deliberation and point to resources from within the two faith traditions that can contribute to building the common life based on covenant community and social solidarity.
Responses from Ibrahim M. Abu-Rabi’, Robert A. Hunt and Peter G. Riddell, three international scholars who have contributed significantly to fostering greater understanding between Christianity and Islam, are included.

Description
The outpouring of the Spirit on some Anglo-Chinese School students in 1972 was the beginning of the charismatic movement in Singapore. It was arguably an unexpected and inexpressible gift from God to the newly independent nation. The details were however largely blurred, ignored, or forgotten by the close of that decade. What happened became part of the suppressed memory in Singapore’s church history. This book, drawn largely from the testimonies of the key participants, aims to redress this neglect. CSCA publishes this revised and expanded edition to mark the 40th anniversary of the event, which many refer to as “the Clock Tower Revival.”
“Father here I am. I just want to be the channel that you can use to ignite the revival that will not only spread across Singapore but will spread out to the rest of the world. And the world will come to know the glory, the majesty and the power of your name. And the free flow of your Holy Spirit will demonstrate to the world the power of a living Christ. Thank you, Father; thank you, Father; thank you, Father.”

Description
This collection of essays by eleven social scientists, theologians and pastors aims to help Christians think about their public witness and social responsibility in Singapore. The book is written amid huge anxiety on priorities and direction, as the intense public discussion on the 2013 Population White Paper “A Sustainable Population for a Dynamic Singapore” highlights. Two central and complementary questions stand out amid the various pressing issues: How can Singapore ensure continuing success and survival in a globalising and intensely competitive setting? And for Christians, what particular insight can they contribute toward public discussion on Singapore’s future?
From the Foreword
The volume intends to nudge Christians to think about their social responsibility in a changing world. . . . If this volume stimulates some thinking, and better yet, positive engagement on the part of the faithful with Singapore society and community, then it would have done its part in making Singapore a better place: a more liveable city and a more humane society. — Lily Kong, Professor, National University of Singapore
From the Preface
What will the future be like and how will it impact the Christian is a pressing question that calls for deep reflection. . . . Can our Christian outlook stand up to the threats of modern secular culture? These are some of the deeper questions we must face now so that we can better prepare our future generations. . . . I hope this book will spark off a series of serious Christian reflection on more specific issues facing the Church of the future. — Tan Gee Paw, Chair, Public Utilities Board, Singapore
Cover illustration
The red and white colours embody Singapore’s values: universal brotherhood and equality of man; pervading and everlasting purity and virtue. The lyrics express the Church’s mission of love and service: “O Lord, that they may live” (John 10:10). They are from the episcopal anthem composed by Archbishop William Goh and Sir Dr Peter Low on the archbishop’s episcopal ordination on 22 February 2013, and are reproduced by permission.

Endorsement
This book is remarkable – it shows vital and meaningful ways in which Christians can serve Christ by helping to build a nation that is not only prepared for tomorrow but outlasts tomorrow because of its sound and enduring values. This book fleshes out the call. I highly commend it! — Rennis Ponniah, Bishop, Diocese of Singapore
Two thumbs up for this book. It is relevant, thought-provoking and challenges us to think about our roles and responsibilities to our nation. –Terry Kee, Bishop, Lutheran Church in Singapore
This publication is long overdue. Christians in Singapore have long been actively engaging various communities through practical deeds. Moving forward, we need to explore holistically our contribution to the larger society. This book is a pull in the right direction. — Wee Boon Hup, Bishop, The Methodist Church in Singapore
Like Jesus, who came that people might have life and have it to the full, the Church needs to connect with people and be a blessing to them. The authors of this book encourage us to do just that. They challenge us to reflect on biblical truths that should shape how we think and act in a fast evolving society. — Leow Khee Fatt, Moderator, The Presbyterian Church in Singapore
This is a badly needed book. At a time when Singaporeans are pondering on the direction the nation should take, this book encourages Christians to think through their social responsibility. These articles by leading churchmen, academics and pastors should stir our hearts, inform our minds and motivate us to move forward, together with others, to a better Singapore. — Bobby E.K. Sng, former president of the Bible Society of Singapore

Behind this collection lie probing questions about how ‘World Christianity’ may be classified. Is the term simply another way of describing Christianity today, or is the term a product of the deep binaries resulting from the decolonization model? Are the challenges of documentation merely technical or are they profoundly theological? I cannot commend this thoughtful and crucial collection too highly. – IAIN R. TORRANCE, President, Princeton Theological Seminary
Documentation is a practice that is crucial to any kind of research. Conceptualizing documentation itself is a theme that underlies this book. By entering into the theological foundations of “documenting world Christianity in the 21st century,” this work offers a perspective that is positive, confident and profound, especially in regard to a subject that is pivotal to missiology and to the whole of Christian theology as well. – ADAM WOLANIN, SJ, Full Professor, Faculty of Missiology, Pontifical Gregorian University, Rome
This book gives an excellent introduction to the challenges and prospects of documenting missionary experiences. The rich encounter between the Gospel, its heralds and hearers in different cultures and nations for the past 2,000 years can easily be lost and forgotten. This book highlights the needs and challenges of collecting missionary experiences from all over the world in the present time. – JAROSŁAW RÓŻAŃSKI, OMI, Professor and Head of Missiology, Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University, Warsaw
There is a great deal of serious and technical content in this book for historical and missiological scholars. But the specifics are connected to the depths of reflection on memory, and hence ecclesial identity. I recommend the book to a wider audience. – GEORGE SUMNER, Principal, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto
This book is a guide and an inspiration for all interested in World Christianity. Its contributors ably demonstrate the variety of documentation and methods of collection and call persuasively for a sharing of memories and interpretations across the globe. – EMMA WILD-WOOD, Director, Henry Martyn Centre, Cambridge
Documentation may sound a largely technical matter, a concern principally for the librarians and archivists who service academic studies. This book shows how crucial it is, not just to scholarship, but to the life and mission of the Church throughout the world. It is stuffed full of good things. Some of them are richly suggestive theologically; some are revealing in surprising ways about Christian history, thought and life, not least in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Some are not just powerful but potentially explosive in their implications, especially if we neglect their message. It is a book not merely for specialists, but for all who care about Christian mission. – ANDREW F. WALLS, Professor, University of Edinburgh, Liverpool Hope University and Akrofi-Christaller Institute, Ghana

Description
Many parts of Asia are being rapidly transformed by new technologies, unequal wealth creation and the emergence of religious radicalism. Individual lives and whole societies are being re-configured around new gods and identities. What does following Jesus as Lord mean in such changing contexts? If Christian witness is to be truly Christian, and not a bearer of false gods, our pragmatism and activism need to be shaped by prophetic discernment and godly wisdom.
In three public lectures under the CSCA Annual Lecture Series 2007, Vinoth Ramachandra explores the historical, sociological and technological landscape of Asian cities. He critiques how these social realities are shaping Asian identities and discusses their implications for Church and Mission in Asia today. The discussion begun in these lectures has been expanded to include alternative perspectives in responses from Simon Chan of Singapore, Melba Maggay of the Philippines, and Martin Sinaga of Indonesia. In addition, there is an author’s rejoinder to these responses. The conversation initiated among the four scholars signals the value of ongoing dialogue among Asian churches towards inculcating faithfulness to our common missional task.

Description
Bishop Robert Solomon’s book offers a concise and highly readable introduction to the nature and theology of revival. Bishop Solomon is keenly aware of the concerns of ordinary church-goers over the baffling aspects of revivals. He anticipates some of their frequently asked questions and addresses them with pastoral sensitivity. I recommend it especially to anyone seeking spiritual guidance in discerning between genuine and questionable revivals.
SIMON CHAN (Earnest Lau Professor of Systematic Theology, Trinity Theological College, Singapore)
The sacred topic of revival has suffered from bad press recently through controversies of what constitutes a legitimate revival. This book addresses this need by combining careful scholarship with biblical evidence and by illustrating the principles gleaned with inspiring stories of Asian revivals. I am motivated afresh to pray yearningly for revival.
AJITH FERNANDO (Teaching Director, Youth for Christ Sri Lanka)
The Methodist Bishop has spanned denominations, continents, time, and academic disciplines to provide a lucid and literary foray into the complex topic of Christian revival. His discussion of intercontinental connections of revivals in the early 20th century is illuminating for our contemporary church which is too often bound by cultural and regional limitations. I commend this to church leaders in both Asia and the West.

Description
This book tells a fascinating story of encounter between Christianity and the Iban of Sarawak, who are now one of the most Christianised peoples in Asia. Peter Varney meticulously charts Iban responses to Christianity during Brooke and colonial rule from 1848 to 1968 showing how local catechists and teachers played a central role in bringing Christianity to their own people. The story of how faith and culture engage each other will be of huge interest to Southeast Asian Christians, and to academics in historical and social science disciplines.
About the Author
The Revd. Peter Varney is a fellow of the Borneo Research Council, chairman of the Borneo Mission Association and a research associate in the School of International Development at the University of East Anglia. His interest in the Iban began in 1958 when he was posted to Borneo during Royal Air Force National Service. In 1967 he began field work at Betong, focussing on Anglican work with the Iban, and visiting all the Anglican parishes in Sarawak. His recent research on Iban Anglicans examines burial rites and eschatological beliefs in urban Kuching, including issues of religious accommodation, urbanisation and globalisation.

When Francis McDougall became the first Christian missionary in Sarawak, he could not have envisaged what is now the vibrant Anglican Diocese of Kuching within the Province of South East Asia. This fascinating history reminds us of the need for faithfulness and patience, charts the sometimes uneasy relationship between the church and the colonial powers, and records the sensitivity with which many missionaries sought to understand local spiritualities and rituals. — Bishop Michael Doe, General Secretary USPG, 2004 – 2011
It is always refreshing to read an outsider’s view of a community and its history. This book is therefore something that can be appreciated by Iban people as well as by others. The past decades of mission among the Iban people are brought into sharp focus by Peter’s careful research and his style of presentation. There is something to learn from its pages even for those most closely involved in the work.
The Diocese has always been keen to assist where it can in research and I am very pleased with the result. It describes the long procession of God’s servants who have been faithful in this part of His vineyard to which we in our generation now belong. An important aspect is how the church’s contribution to the political and economic life in Sarawak is woven into the story of conversion. Descriptions of the formidable problems of the past being overcome with tenacity and faith can only be an inspiration and hope for facing the difficulties of the present day.
I commend this book to anyone anywhere who is involved in mission – or even simply wondering how it works.
— Datuk Bolly anak Labok, Bishop of Kuching and Archbishop of the Province of the Anglican Church in South East Asia

简介
中国移民与新加坡教会的课题，对于许多本地教会来说，可说是个“烫手的山芋”。 因为两者之间的张力、冲击与误会是必然存在的。因此许多教会的中国人事工都碰到了困难。
罗翠璧在三一神学院修读课程时，选择以中国人所创办的以马内利基督教会为研究课题。她的专文将她与以马内利创办人王祎牧师的访谈，特别针对教会的历史、身份定位与文化互动三方面做出具体的分析，并提出一个重要的问题：“不少本地教会都有华文崇拜，并有专门服事中国移民或学生的事工，为什么中国人要自己开一间教会？”两位本地牧者、三位中国移民牧者，以及一位三一神学院讲师，亦受邀撰写回应文章。希望这些对话能激发教会间自由的交流与合作，将福音广传。– 刘淑平
“本地教会若要认真开展中国人事工，本地的领袖必须思考到底他们有没有准备好接纳文化完全不同的人作为教会的核心成员、甚至进入领导体系？到底这是谁的责任？文化差异有时的确无法逾越，但文化藩蓠却能透过彼此了解和接纳而打破。在外国人学习入乡随俗的同时，本地人必须要有求同存异的胸襟，而非以高姿态的方式与外国人相处，以自己为‘主体’，硬要对方融入自己的文化，却没有明白及欣赏对方的特质。”–罗翠璧

简介
This Paper studies the history of the Chinese Methodist Church in the development of Sitiawan community during 1903-1940, through the historical migration of Chinese Christians to Kampung Koh; within a foreign historical stance, experiencing the power shift of its community leadership. From a viewpoint of missions history, structuring the leading powers of the Methodists in the Chinese community of Sitiawan.
Chapter One “Introduction” identifies the motive and contents of appointing the community leadership of Sitiawan Chinese Methodist “Muk Su Lao” as the specific study scenario. Chapter Two “The Historic Shift in the Organization Structure of the Sitiawan Chinese Church and Community Leadership” mainly analyzes how the China Foo Chow Annual Conference and Malayan Annual Conference established the foundation of Sitiawan community leadership. Chapter Three “From ‘The Fallen Leaf Returns to the Root’ To ‘Fall to the Ground and Root in the Land’: The Establishment of Muk Su Lao anatomize the experience of power shift progress of the Sitiawan Chinese pastors and Christians under the community leadership power of the western missionaries. Chapter Four “Conclusion” puts question to the community leadership in practice of the West Malaysian Chinese Annual Conference inheriting the “heritage” of the subsistent power organizations of the M.E.M. Missions Conference.
