Dr. Steve Pardue (Philippines/USA), Wilson Jeremiah (Indonesia), Michael Horton, and Adam Smith discuss the significance of global theology in a rapidly shifting church landscape, where the majority of Christians today are now outside North America and Europe. They examine why theology must engage voices from outside the West for deeper unity and gospel understanding. Drawing from their diverse experiences and the book “Why Evangelical Theology Needs the Global Church,” they explore how cultural contexts enrich theological reflection, the value of catholicity in the church, and the theological reasons for attending to the Spirit’s work across nations. This conversation is presented by Theo Global from Chiang Mai, Thailand.
