Bøger i Theology in the Age of Empire serien

This book argues that all theologies are public measures - they disclose as well as gauge the publics (near and far) on which they stand, sit, lie, or fall. Because publics shift and mingle, theologies require reimagining and relocating, incorporating fresh insights and energies, and troubling.

This book re-visits the principles and practices of mission and re-visions the Christian mission to account for and (en)counter "context matters" in the age of empire. The (en)countered "contexts" include transatlantic slavery and Trumpire, evangelical and refugee camps, conflict zones in Afghanistan and Cambodia, Ma'ohi Nui, and more.

Vulnerability and Resilience takes advantage of the power of stories and storytelling to generate scope and meaning for vulnerable subjects, and brings the visceral and queer leanings of body theology into the arms of liberation theology. As a collective, the contributors lay resilience alongside liberation on the path of theology.

This book addresses the impacts of the strikes by empires upon land and people, the traditions that fund and sanctify those ventures, and the spinoffs that they inspire. The contributors engage and interrogate these assaults on the land and people, and oblige theologians and biblical studies scholars to confront modern empires.

The Bible, as scripture, calls for resistance against unjust cultures and imperial powers. Scripture and Resistance applies the multiple views or perspectives in the Bible about empire and resistance to a variety of concerns, including the colonial legacies of the Bible and the subjugation of indigenous peoples.

Religion has power structures that require and justify collaboration with empires. Concentrating on Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism, this book also asserts that religion has subversive energies that undermine its power plays.
