本文就後殖民論述中有關東、西方之間對身分、權力與政治的探索，亞洲神學的角色與神學家之方位檢討。從後殖民批判的角度，亞洲神學家經已成功地建立自己，成為西方基督教傳統主流的一個抗衡方向，可是亞洲神學家同時被捲入「東相對於西」的爭勘，而成為西方神學其中一個的「他者」。亞洲神學家若要建立明確的身分;作者指出，須以亞洲的個別性及多樣性的經驗為主，而普遍共同性為次。

ABSTRACT

This paper will examined the role of Asian theology and the location of Asian theologians in the light of the postcolonial discourse on identity, power and the politics between East and West. In view of a postcolonial critique, while Asian theology has successfully established itself as an counter-movement to the prevalent dominance of Western Christian traditions, Asian theologians themselves are being caught in the polemics of East versus West and “allow” Asia to remain as ‘other” to the West: In order to have their own identities, the writer argues Asian theologians should pay more attention to the particularities and diversities of experience among Asians rather than the claims of commonality.
