How would you answer the question, what is the purpose of christianity? If your response reflected the traditional view, it would be something like this: "To proclaim the saving grace of God in Jesus Christ and to make discipline of all believer."
Such a response would not be overly debated by most chrsitians. Both mainstream chrsitians and those considered mainstream could buy into that concept.

There have been small jewish settlements in India and China for hundreds of years. But the minority christian churches in Asia have had little contact eith living jewish community. They have thus tended to see the jews only as he "people of the Old Testament". As a result, they have ofend view jewish-christian dialogue as a concern limited to Europe and North America and aimed only at overcoming the oainful legacy of antisemitism in church and society. The jewish and Asian christian theological perspective developed in the essays collected here show that these two faith groups have much to learn from each other, and to teach us all, about the experience of being a minority, the meaning of the image of God, the concept of identity as a people of God and the challenge of religious pluralism.
