Pride And Prejudice: Colonialism And Post-Colonialism In The Philippine Chinese Context: How Ibs Can Be A Liberating Methodology To Find The Truth To Be Set Free, Juliet Lee Uytanlet

The Asbury Journal

This paper aims to present the importance of disentangling the Philippine Chinese from a colonial mindset before they can truly be disentangled from their wrong beliefs and practices.

Inductive Bible Study: Contextual Appropriation In Northeast India, M. Sashi Jamir Jan 2013

Inductive Bible Study: Contextual Appropriation In Northeast India, M. Sashi Jamir

The Asbury Journal

M. Sashi Jamir examines the application of Inductive Bible Study to the tribal communities of Northeast India.

The reality that larger national forces in India often overshadow tribal communities also poses potential problems that prevent the local theological voice from being heard.
