It questions how Jesus can be brought ‘at home’ in an African or Asian context. In particular, the methodological aspects of this question are objects of research. First, following a description of the complex relationship between culture and religion and importance of the southern hemisphere as the center of world Christianity, the inculturation process in the New Testament times is analyzed. Second, the notion of the ‘remembered Jesus’ is applied to the inculturation process in the New Testament and to the constitutive period of the early church.Third, a threefold criterion to assess contextual Jesus-interpretations is articulated and related to the idea of double transformation as main characteristic of an adequate inculturation process. Fourth, the question is asked whether we can speak of an ‘unknown, hidden Jesus’ in Asia and Africa.

Starting with the bodily experience of the feast, it analyses how each liturgical context orients and temporally locates the women. It explains how the engagement of the body relates to the material experience of presence. Constantly moving between the different celebrations the women considered create a personal symbolic network where their perception of Christ’s presence and absence is challenged. The article suggests that in this weaving of the feasting experiences the women perform their liturgical and sacramental theology; a theology of negotiation mirrored in the resurrection narrative of Mary at the tomb.

Brinkman offers a critical account of the ecumenical developments of the last three decades. He delivers a sketch of the Reformed contribution to it. He pleas for a stronger non-Western input emphasizing that in many contexts (Indonesia, India, China) the interreligious dialogue has become part of the inner-Christian dialogue.
