To war, we respond with life/ To atrocity, we unleash justice/ To inequity, we thunder with liberation/ We are leading the way to/ prepare the soil for our/ people's fruit. These words by a group of Filipino women point to a new theological energy at work in Asia today. The setting for this new theological energy is not the cathedral or the classroom but the rice fields, the urban slums, the prisons. It is the struggle for a more just and humane world which gives shape and form to this theology. It is also the theology of a minority of a minority. Christians represent less than 2 percent of the total population in Asia. Almost 50 percent of that 2 percent are found in the Philippines alone. Hence in relative figures, Christianity would not appear to be particularly significant in Asia; but in absolute figures the picture is quite different. There are well over 100 million Christians in Asia, with approximately 14,000,000 in India alone and over 17,000,000 in Indonesia.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website.
