Explores the mystery of Christ through the experiences and perspectives of India and South Asia.
In this stimulating work of global Christology, noted scholar Jacob Parappally develops critiques of Western Christian preoccupations with dogmas and doctrines about Jesus Christ that "do not let the mystery of Christ be experienced by those who do not share" Jewish, Greco-Roman, Mediterranean, and European perspectives. Christ without Borders shows how the peoples of India and South Asia have experienced Jesus Christ and asks if these Christians have not themselves a valuable contribution to make to Christology.

Industry Reviews
"From 'Jesus without borders' to 'Christ without borders'-a critical challenge to any meaningful intercultural and interreligious theology today. Fruit of three decades of research and teaching Christology, Jacob Parappally's Christ without Borders grapples with this problem daringly and compellingly. A book for those who want to dig deeper." -Isaac Padinjarekuttu, former professor and dean, Jnanadeepa, Institute of Philosophy and Theology, Pune, India
"Die Summe eines Lebenswerk. The sum of a lifelong engagement, Christ without Borders is a search for a real and faithful vision of the Mystery of Jesus Christ, God in History. Parappally deftly explores the capacity of Christology from the 'West' to grasp the experiences of a multifaceted Asia, especially India. This book offers the insights of a theologian who lives and thinks in a rich multiculturalism." -Josef Freitag, professor for dogmatics, Catholic Theology Faculty, University of Erfurt, Germany
"In this illuminating and beautifully written study, Jacob Parappally picks up where Raimon Panikkar left off, making sense of the Indic experience of Christ. The book will be indispensable for exploring Indian theologians' own challenge to think through and beyond Christological dogmas that are expressed in Greek categories of thought." -Ebrico Beltramini, Notre Dame de Namur University; author, Michael Amaladoss and the Quest for Indian Theology
