From Malaysia to the Ends of the Earth: Southeast Asian and Diasporic Contributions to Biblical and Theological Studies. Edited by Elaine Wei-Fun Goh, Kah-Jin Jeffrey Kuan, Jonathan Yun-Ka Tan and Amos Wai-Ming Yong. Claremont, CA: Claremont Press, 2021.

This Malaysian volume features the scholarship of 14 contributors/editors who are originally from Malaysia, some now living overseas. The wager of this volume is that, in a globalizing and postcolonial twenty-first century, Malaysian biblical scholars and theologians can contribute to a wide range of broader conversations out of the particularity of their own experience and perspective. Specifically, this volume brings together in one place for the first time leading Malaysian biblical scholars and theologians who seek, cumulatively, to advance the discussion on two fronts: one, centripetally vis-à-vis the specific opportunities and challenges confronting Malaysian Christians living in West Malaysia and East Malaysia, and two, centrifugally in relationship to the church evangelical-ecumenical and the theological academy writ large. It is driven by the gradual but palpable maturation of biblical and theological scholarship on the Malaysian ground as well as its various diasporic trajectories.

The book is published with an Open Access available for free download (pdf). Just click here: https://claremontpress.com/from-malaysia-to-the-ends-of-the-earth.html
