When I started this blog in September 2010, I first put the title Spiritual Horizons from the Far East. Why make such title? Well, I wanted to write on Spiritual things at the same time highlighting my Asian identity. There is something in Asian thinking different from Western thoughts and I wanted to highlight some of them in my writing. Unfortunately, I have not been able to write anything that is purely Asian.
Our theology, or should I
say our Christianity in Asia is an import product from the West, yet I am quick
to admit, we in Asia have not really written our own systematic theology.
Perhaps, writing a systematic theology is in itself not Asian; no wonder, we
haven't produced one. Some Asian thinkers have written Asian theology at some
sort but the systematization of Asian thoughts is yet to come. Maybe it never will.
