This volume presents emerging scholarly perspectives on transcultural entanglements from the fields of Intercultural Theology, Religious Studies, and related disciplines. This volume presents emerging scholarly perspectives on transcultural entanglements from the fields of Intercultural Theology, Religious Studies, and related disciplines. The anthology offers novel insights for the young discipline of Intercultural Theology, introducing innovative historiographical, methodological, theoretical, and empirical approaches that accentuate its transdisciplinary and global-local dynamics. The authors, all early career researchers, provide critical evaluations of the current state of the discipline, highlight unresolved issues, and identify areas that have been under-researched. By emphasizing power dynamics, marginalization, and decolonization, their contributions address central debates in the fields of the historiography of missions, global entanglements, eco-religion, lived religion, and transcultural encounters.
