Divinity After Empire

For several decades, postcolonial scholarship has flourished in the fields of the study of literature, cultural theory, history and even biblical studies. However, the impact on theology has been weaker. As R.S. Sugirtharajah noted in 2004: "European colonialism has never been a popular subject for theological inquiry in Western discourse despite the very substantial links between the churches of Britain and the missions of the colonial world."

The series of events, below, thereby seeks to fill a significant gap in the scholarly discussion/literature.
