A Systematic Theology from East Asia

“Chua is a meticulous scholar whose work deserves serious consideration. As well as introducing a wider readership to the life and work of Jung Young Lee, the quality and caliber of Chua’s theological discussion is itself first-rate and most instructive. This work will, I am sure, serve to establish Chua as a most competent systematic theologian in his own right.”


—Douglas Pratt, honorary professor of theology and religious studies, University of Auckland





“A Systematic Theology from East Asia is a patient and groundbreaking study in world Christianity. Chua’s research is among the first attempts to assess the dogmatic contribution of Christian thinkers of Asian ethnic origins amid huge geopolitical changes in the late twentieth century. Chua’s book draws attention to the place of canonical texts and philosophical traditions, from both the East and the West, in the making of Christianity—and to the central tenets of the Christian faith.”


—Michael Nai-Chiu Poon, honorary research fellow, The Chinese University of Hong Kong





“As a Chinese Singaporean who has studied within the Western theological academy and who traverses both Western and East Asian conceptual worlds, Edmond Chua is an astute guide to the theology of Jung Young Lee. He offers both a clear explanation of Lee’s theological project and a perceptive analysis of the ways in which Lee’s Trinitarian theology departs from and challenges Western theological thinking. I am pleased to commend this book.”


—Murray Rae, professor of theology, University of Otago
