Beskrivning

Living Black Theology provides a challenging and radical critique of the present world order. It argues that the world as we experience it presently has its roots in the era of slavery and European colonialism, especially the British empire, the largest example of imperialism in human history. Written by the first Professor of Black Theology in the history of the University of Oxford, Living Black Theology offers a bold reassessment of how we can rethink the past that will challenge our contemporary ways of living. Ultimately, this text seeks to help us reimage and remake the future, one that is more equitable and just for all peoples. This is a landmark book.

Recensioner i media

Reddie's Living Black Theology: Decolonising Knowledge should be read as a form of theological elder wisdom - knowledge ripened through long experience, cultural memory, and sustained engagement with Black life. Framed by the Yorùbá proverb áº¸nu àgbà ni òbí ìgbó, Reddie's work represents both a gift and a challenge to Black theology: a gift in its participative, narrative, and decolonial methodological innovations, and a challenge in the unresolved tensions that remain within its ontological commitments.
