This book discusses Missional Theology from trans-disciplinary and diverse angles from which scholars unpack 'missional theologies' which emerge out of their different contexts spanning from countries such as Thailand, South Korea, Taiwan, Netherlands, Switzerland Uganda, South Africa and Zimbabwe. This diversity of contexts and scholarly approaches underscore the notion of 'globality' which is at the heart of 'subverting Empire'; explored through the intersecting themes of environmental justice, social and economic justice, addressing poverty, migration challenges and dealing with all forms of discrimination such as gender and racism. Central to the approach of this book is the notion that 'subverting Empire' requires an urgent and transformational shift from traditional approaches to creative and missional approaches grounded on human dignity and life affirming values as opposed to the death dealing effects of the current global architecture which thrives on exploitation of the poor and marginalized communities.
