Christ without Borders approaches the mystery of Christ through Indian experiences and perspectives. Parappally develops the critiques of Christian preoccupations without dogmas and doctrines about Jesus Christ that “do not let the mystery of Christ be experienced by those who do not share” Jewish, Greco-Roman, Mediterranean, and Western European worldviews, including philosophical categories. Thousands of people in India and South Asia have experienced “Jesus Christ beyond the boundaries of the Church and its dogmas. They have discovered the mystery of Jesus Christ through their own worldview and express it through their own forms of thought. Do they not contribute something” to Christology as a theological inquiry?
