Publisher's Synopsis
Deeply challenging the theological status quo, this important work searches for a new theological and ministerial paradigm in our time of massive social, economic, and geopolitical change. Guided by liberation theology and even more by his remarkable experience with South African indigenous groups and popular religion, Cochrane believes that theology's future role will be to listen to the "local wisdom" of religious people at society's margins, to widen the circle to encompass its public relevance, and to leverage the insights at the margin to displace the center.
