Beschreibungen
A Systematic Theology from East Asia: Jung Young Lee's Biblical-Cultural Trinity considers the Trinitarian theology of Jung Young Lee, a twentieth-century Korean American theologian, unique for being based on the Bible but also inspired by the Book of Changes, a classical text from East Asian culture with wide appeal. This monograph examines the Christian scriptural-traditional and cultural roots of Lee's doctrines of God and the Trinity as twin pillars of his systematic theological system bearing out God's nature, purposes, and guidance for humanity and the world. In addition, this book outlines the autobiographical milieu of Lee's theology, its contribution to three distinct fields of Trinitarian doctrine (immanent-economic trinitarianism, social Trinity theory, and Cappadocian trinitarianism), and culminates in an assessment of Lee as a systematic theologian from East Asia, comparing Lee with other Asian American theologians.

“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.”

<br> “
<i>A Systematic Theology from East Asia</i> 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.”

<br> “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.”
