Beskrivning

Five African-American and five Hispanic/Latino(a) theologians here explore their common historical and cultural heritage and their similar chronicle of struggle and affirmation. The aim is to develop overarching meaning systems that encourage and sustain holistic imagination, notions of self and communal integrity, social activism and solidarity. Among the topics treated are the core themes, concerns and historical development of these two theologies; the roles played by scripture, tradition, imagination and individual and collective experience; popular religion; Womanist and Mujerista theologies; ways of dealing with pain, suffering and subjugation; and strategies for building bridges between communities of struggle.

"The Ties That Bind offers [...] evidence of the flourishing of contextual reflection as a mainstream theological approach. Grounded in the lived experience of their respective communities, the essays here do much to undermine those whose idealistic and homogenized representations of the sensus fidelium ignores the reality of Christian diversity and pluriform patterns of discipleship." --Reviews in Religion and Theology 9.2 (April 2002)
