Research Interests:
Kwan's research interest falls in the field of Practical Theology which
has already been emancipated into a discipline of its own rights. It is
no longer understood as a discipline where theology is applied to
practice. The main focus of it, instead, is the interaction, actual and
possible, between theology and different aspects of practical life.
Methodologically, it relies on a mutually critical correlation between
theologies and social sciences. The following are the sub-areas of Kwan's
research interest:
1.
The
Cultural/Socio-Political Dimension of Practical Theology
1.1 Praxis Approach to Asian Theological Movements
1.2 Ritual Approach to Charismatic Christianities
1.3 Church and Society in Hong Kong
2.
Church
Ministry and Practical Theology
2.1 Counseling Practice in Christian Settings
2.2 Theory-Practice Integration in Theological Education
