Planetary Theology
from The Magnificast Hosted by The Magnificast
On this podcast, we’ve talked about radical theologians from Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, The US, and China, but this week we’re bringing in the voice of Tissa Balasuriya, a Catholic theologian from Sri Lanka. This week, we’re talking about some pieces of his Book Planetary Theology, Published in English in 1984 by Orbis Press. There’s a lot going on in Balasuriya’s work, but it’s a really interesting example of a theologian creating the groundwork for a contextual liberation theology that runs counter to the capitalist world system. Balasuriya sees that the Christianity of the west leaves out a lot of voices and experiences, especially those in Asian contexts.
