Asian American theologies
- Asian American theologies
Asian American theologies are a distinctive type of contextual theology that has emerged as a result of the increasing immigration of Asians to North America. Asian American theologies reflect on both the cross-culturalexperience of immigration and on the implications of dialogue with other Christian churches and world religions within the United States. Because Asia is a vast region, there are many subsets of Asian American theology: Chinese, Filipino, Korean, Vietnamese, and so on.
