The thesis proposes that developing NT theology for the Asian context is important
because of the cultural and multi-religious background of the people. The text of the
Bible must be the source of theology and must be applied systematically to the Asian
context.
John the Baptist has been instrumental in preparing the way for Jesus Christ. His
theological significance needs to be considered at the beginning of NT theology and
also in his contribution to the Asian context. Jesus Christ is the center and unity of NT
theology. Consideration has been given to the person of Jesus Christ, his mission, his
ministry, and the community of his followers. Jesus Christ has been unique in many
ways especially when compared to the life and teaching of Buddha.
