The Art of Indigenous Inculturation: Grace on the Edge of Genius

From the publisher:

"The Art of Indigenous Inculturation explores the phenomenon of religious inculturation from the perspective of Third World postcolonial cultures--a departure from what appears to have been the default emphasis on inculturation as a strategy employed by professional missionaries to evangelize non-Western cultures. Antonio Sison retrieves the vital meaning of “inculturation” in view of the creative and heroic efforts of the peoples of Asia, Latin America, and Africa, who have, in the power of their own creative genius, upheld their authentic cultural identity and historical agency, while seeking religious synthesis in the face of the “unholy” marriage of evangelization and colonization."
