Writing as an adept in Western as well as Buddhist philosophy, Pieris's insights bring into sharp focus the issues facing Christian theology, particularly in Christology and women's issues, in Asia today. An "Asian Christ," Pieris insists, links the paradoxes of a saving God revealed in the depths of ignominy, draws the believer to the depths of Asian spiritual wisdom, and fashions a way of life that will liberate the masses who live in poverty and powerlessness.
Pieris centers his attention on the Asian, and when the discussion is most concrete, South Asian dimensions of issues of religion, mission, Buddhist-Christian dialogue, and contemporary concerns, including human rights, women's issues and feminist theological critiques and the relation between spirituality and human liberation.

One of the most important Catholic theologians in Asia, a man who is most decidedly a liberation theologian himself, is a Jesuit priest named Aloysius Pieris. He has been ignoring efforts by Rome to control him and his theological pioneering in Asia since he first took to heart a mandate that Pope Paul VI delivered to the Asian bishops in the early s. Paul VI said that the church should make an effort to understand the faith expressions native to their countries, their cultures, their races, and "draw nourishment from the genuine values of the venerable Asian religions and cultures. I wonder if that pope's words have had much impact on the investigators in the church's Ministry of Truth formerly the Holy Office of the Inquisition. They got after Pieris some decades ago for his writings on the genuine values he found in Buddhism and for some provocative added words on liberation theology.
