In \u003ci\u003eJourneys at the Margin\u003c\/i\u003e prominent Asian-American theologians reflect on how being an Asian and a North American has shaped the way they understand the Christian story. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Asian Americans, having roots in Asia, do not fully belong either to America or Asia. They find themselves straddling two different world cultures, sharing something of both but belonging entirely to neither. Thus, their marginality can best be understood in terms of their experience of living \"in-between\" two cultures, that of the immigrant and that of the dominant group, and being \"in-both\" of these cultures--and, ultimately, being \"in-beyond\" the two cultures altogether. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Coming from different parts of the Far East and nourished by diverse Christian traditions, the contributors to \u003ci\u003eJourneys at the Margin\u003c\/i\u003e bring to their work richly divergent perspectives, resources, and methods. More than an anthology of personal stories, this collection of essays develops the emerging theological themes (including the contributors' visions of a new America) out of their experience. What binds these highly varied essays is their authors' common journeys at the margin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As the United States becomes increasingly multiethnic and multicultural at the threshold of a new millennium, \u003ci\u003eJourneys at the Margin\u003c\/i\u003e offers useful suggestions on how to meet the challenge of cultural diversity in both Church and society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Articles and their contributors are \"An Asian-American Theology: Believing and Thinking at the Boundaries,\" by Peter C.
