Theology: The study of God ...
Are you a theologian? Some theologians are scholars and spend most of their time studying, writing and reflecting in this endeavor. Some of us are simply engaged through our lives and faith in reflecting on the question, "Where is God in this?"
As we notice, pay attention and wonder about God we become theologians too. The following items and current information deal with some of the theological questions that lay before us in this era.
Use this series of primers on theology from women's perspectives as an introduction to feminist, mujerista, womanist and Asian American theologies.

Coming Home: Asian American Women Doing Theology, Unzu Lee, author
Written by Unzu Lee. We listen to the voices of the Asian Women Doing Theology from the vantage point of women in the Asian American context. Faithful to their backgrounds, their pain and their own understandings of their faith commitments and their cultural heritages, Lee describes the varied perspectives that contribute to an Asian American perspective. Lee explores Biblical understanding, cultural experience and identity of Asian American women probing the who, why and how of theological reflection. She challenges one to consider the reality often experienced as "neither/nor" and consider an alternative in which one can be "both/and."
