The writings in the book "Towards an Integral Theology" have addressed a wide range of relevant biblical, theological, historical, missiological, religious, and ministerial issues in relation to integral theology in the postmodern context of India. These reforming, interdisciplinary and integrating reflections will provide alternatives for the churches to go beyond the divisive factors and to have a spirit of integration in its mission. Bishop Ezra Sargunam in this regard has placed himself as a bridge builder between the theoreticians and the practitioners, the liberals and the conservatives, the ecumenicals and the evangelicals, and the secular and the sacred. Therefore this book explores a movement towards an integral theology for the Church that needs to be explored, expounded and experienced further.

Part VI: BD Thesis Abstract. 20. The Contributions of D. Sundar Singh Towards the Development of Evangelical Church of India, Chennai Diocese from 2005-2016/J. Megavel Majesty. The writings in the book "Towards an Integral Spirituality" have addressed a wide range of relevant biblical, theological, historical-missiological, religious and ministerial issues in relation to integral spirituality in the postmodern context of India. These interdisciplinary reflections on various issues will also provide alternatives in the understanding of `spirituality' as an experience of God in one's encounter with the marginalized and the exploited and in one's ordinary activities of daily life. Bishop Sundar Singh as a Wesleyan scholar, understands `spirituality' in a scholarly as well as in a pietistic manner; and develops his theology of prayer, rootedness in Christ, the mind of Christ, Christian fruitfulness, repentance, forgiveness, inclusivity, soul winning, shepherding and caring. Therefore, this book is an exploration towards an integral spirituality for the pastoral theology, missionary practices and the contemporary theological challenges.
