In a culturally and religiously diverse world, how can the church build just relationships with the \"Other\" without compromising each party's unique identity? In \u003ci\u003eRelation without Relation\u003c\/i\u003e, the author presents intercultural theology as a decolonizing approach to mission practice. He employs key concepts from Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida, and Homi Bhabha to provide a philosophical foundation. He advocates for an \"Altruistic Model\" of interfaith dialogue, which enriches missiology and mission practices, aiming to cultivate an intercultural church. \u003ci\u003eRelation without Relation \u003c\/i\u003eoffers valuable resources for churches seeking to become intercultural and to practice mission alongside others, whether they are people of faith or not.
