Beskrivning

Caribbean Contextual Theology introduces readers to the robust theological conversations taking place in the Caribbean region since the early 1970s, and the region’s key theologians and texts. Attempting to bring a contextual theological gaze to what is a fascinating and often understated context, it offers readers an introduction to the unique and important contribution that a Caribbean theological lens can bring to the broader theological landscape.

Recensioner i media

"Caribbean Theology has long been the radical, decolonial, resistance hermeneutic that has defined the intent of a people to be free of the machinations of colonialism. This important new book by Carlton Turner represents the latest iteration of Caribbean Theology. It offers a bold and imaginative restatement for the necessity for a liberationist theological project committed to the freeing of poor and marginalised peoples."
