Resumo Inglês:

With the explosive growth of the global church has led to a growth in the need for non-Western theologies. This requires theology that responds to the concerns and questions of their cultural context. Two examples from Asia and Africa, treating the doctrine of the Trinity, show that similar cultural concerns may lead to contrary theological conclusions. The conclusion is that contextual theology must take care so that Scripture drives the conclusion, rather than culture, even while giving culture a serious role in the theological task.
