This book provides an interdisciplinary analysis of topics that are relevant to the present day and age. Literature productions such as this becomes a vehicle to change, resist, identify, locate and associate with the causes and concerns of our time that are perilous. One common line of thought that comes in these essays are that of a search for human sensibilities and shared responsibilities calling readers to face the sea of change and challenges that comes our way.

Also, for want of a holistic approach in theological studies discourses, with so much being said and done in its academia, this book adds to the broadening of the same. Put through the sieve, subject ranges from contemporary crises and marginality, community-identity and value systems, ecumenism and contextualizing hermeneutics, pastoral care and nurture and so forth. Hence, the book celebrates and promotes vibrant theological articulations and arguments in Indian theological discourses.

This book is published as a fitting tribute to Dr. I. Limatemsu Ao a fine scholar of the New Testament who has contributed immensely to the theological studies fraternity in India particularly in the New Testament studies and to his immediate community Trinity Theological College through his life and research.
