Vinoth Ramachandra would be an excellent choice for this category. He's a Sri Lankan physicist/theologian and if that doesn't catch your fancy I don't know what will.
I like to be challenged in my worldview and his book "Gods That Fail: Modern Idolatry and Christian Mission" is all about how we as Westerners equate certain parts of our worldview as inherently Biblical when really they're just Western (capitolism, for example). He's a Christian, I think that book is published by IVP, but he's NOT Western and that will shake your worldview in a really good way.
