"Reading Romans in Southeast Asia: Righteousness and its Implications for the Christian Community and Other Faith Communities”

Interpreting Romans in some Southeast Asian Countrries: Some issues of

translation and interpretation related to the situation in Indonesia,

Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines, particularly in the light of

the pluralistic nature of these societies.

I have lived in all these countries and have been involved in the

translation and interpretation of the Bible in the churches of these

countries. So perhaps I can write a paper that is related in some way

to my experiences while living and working in these countries.
