The Christ who Embraces
An Orthodox Theology of Margins
Series: - Theology and Mission in World Christianity, Volume: 33
Author:
Jacob Joseph's book, The Christ who Embraces: An Orthodox Theology of Margins, explores the intersection of Orthodox Christian mission and caste dynamics among St. Thomas/Syrian/Orthodox Christians in India. It defines a liturgical touch or embrace in the context of 'untouchability,' where people identify as equal without discrimination, reflecting the inseparable unity of Christ's transcendental (divine) and immanent (human) nature.
Jacob Joseph Ph.D. (2020), University of Divinity, Melbourne Australia, lectures in Patristics and contemporary theology of mission at St Athanasius College at the University of Divinity, Melbourne Australia, Agora University, Virginia USA, and Malankara Syrian Orthodox Seminary, Kerala, India. He has presented a number of papers on Orthodoxy, Liturgy, Mission, and Theology at various national and international academic conferences.
