Bücher der Reihe Decolonizing Theology

In Resisting Occupation, scholars from around the globe discuss the radical denial of human flourishing caused by the occupation of mind, body, spirit, and land. They explore how religious perspectives can be, and often are, constructed to teach the colonized to want, yearn, and embrace their occupation.

Theologies on the Move examines how the experiences of migration and pilgrimage that are created as a result of the pressures of neoliberal capitalism shape theological and religious traditions. Based on these insights, the contributors examine what difference religion can make in a world dominated by the interests of the few rather than the many.

This book explores matters relating to indigenous land and people, feminist theology, multiculturalism and intercultural theologies, sexual abuse, suicide and worship, church tradition(ing)s and betrayal, art and masculinity, climate change and climate justice, disability theories, Islamic insights, migration and the need to reimagine home.

In this book, Ofelia Miriam Ortega describes the social, economic, and political realities in Cuba, the Caribbean and Latin America as the contexts of Cuban feminist theology.

This assemblage of feminist theologies is written from different cultures, geographies and discourses and brought together around themes as specific and wide-ranging as immigration detention, hate crime, discrimination, rites of marriage and partnership, and artistic and religious imagination.

What thresholds of theology would we cross if we engage the aches and despairs, wisdoms, and hopes in and of Aotearoa New Zealand and the neighboring sea of islands? What thresholds need to be jarred or moved (threshold as opening), probed and raised (threshold as limit)? This book engages these questions in two parts: ';(re)Locating Theological Studies' contains essays that interrogate the purposes of theological studies (locally and globally), identify gaps due to the Western heritage and blind spots of ';traditional theology,' and provide examples of how those gaps may be bridged when local concerns are engaged; ';Nativizing Theological Studies' contains essays that present and engage the heritage and wisdom of tangata whenua (indigenous, native people) of Aotearoa and Pasifika. These essays reaffirm the ';native' rhetoric with pride. This collection of essays affirms that theological studies have a future, and that there is a role for theologians in and from Aotearoa New Zealand and Pasifika to play in navigating (into) that future.
