Christian Theology is a discipline that seeks to reflect and interpret God’s revelation in Jesus Christ and this interpretation is based on and for the faith community. In the early stages, the Christian theology in India had reflected the Hindu religious philosophies and practices. It is also translated Christian faith into the terminology of Hindu philosophical system which is based on Advaita, Dwaita and Visistadwaita, Bhakti and various Margas ideologies. Hence, the Indian Christian theology directly or indirectly fully influenced by these above philosophical ideologies and articulated accordingly. These approaches have been developed and continued up to the end of 1960s.[1] Since then Indian Christian Theology has been changing. One of the major tasks of theology is to interpret the person and work of Jesus Christ. The challenges for theology are to re-interpret the meaning of Jesus to the given context as a result, that the meaning of theology will impact the communities. Interpreting theology requires a committed encounter with the context because it is the context which becomes the locus of the theological reflection. The hallmark trends of today’s context are the awareness of one’s own identity and this awareness definitely shapes theology. Hence the present modern trends in Indian Christian theology are people-centered, praxis-oriented, contextual and liberative in natural.[2] Here in this article, I would like to bring out some important trends in Christian Theology in general and followed by trends and modern trends in Indian Christian Theology in particular.
