Rezensionen

Despite the great diversity of its sources, this book presents a unified single argument persistently demonstrating the multi-cultural, multi-lingual character of Jesus and the relevance of this for a contextual Korean immigrant theology.» (Dr. Harold Wells, Professor of Systematic Theology, Emmanuel College, University of Toronto)
