Over the years, the Asian Research Center for Religion and Social Communication (ARC) at St. John’s University, Bangkok, Thailand has developed more and more as an academic platform for discussion, sharing and reflection in the field. It was the proposal from the participants of the annual roundtable to make some of these studies and reflection available to a greater audience through a book series for academic use. This is now done in cooperation with the University of Santo Tomas in Manila with whom ARC has a special relation and from where also some future contributions especially from Christianity are expected.
