Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Indonesian theology and theologians, in general, are not too well-known beyond their own country, in the broader theological discourse. Henrietta Marianne Katoppo, a Protestant theologian, and Johannes Baptista Banawiratma, a Catholic theologian, are among a few exceptions who have gained influence in global theological discourse. Her book, Compassionate and Free: An Asian Woman’s Theology (1979), is among the earliest theological works to have achieved wide recognition outside Indonesia. It cemented Katoppo’s reputation as a pioneer of Asian feminist theology. Banawiratma’s works, particularly in social theology, embody a form of liberation theology rooted in the Indonesian context. He formulates ways in which theology can become relevant not only in addressing various forms of oppression and injustice but also in dealing with Indonesia’s multicultural and multireligious context. The chapter explores the significant and original contributions of each theologian individually.</jats:p>
