Beskrivning
A wide-ranging theological and scholarly exploration of sacramental practice and ritual as resources for ecological justice, economic renewal, and human flourishingSacraments of Liberation offers a theological and philosophical account of sacramental life as an alternative to the fragmenting logic of modernity and neoliberalism. Drawing on thinkers including Maximus the Confessor, Sergei Bulgakov, Karl Barth, Leonardo Boff, Pope Francis, Edward Casey, and Robin Wall Kimmerer, Henry W. Spaulding III brings sacramental and liberation theology into conversation with philosophy, ecology, and political economy. Through the central contrasts of space and placeand exchange and gift, Spaulding argues that sacramental theology resists the commodification of land, labor, relationships, and creation by recovering forms of belonging, solidarity, and durable community rooted in the reception of creation as gift.

Recensioner i media

“We have grown used to a world that measures everything by what it produces, and to a church that too often measures itself the same way. This book asks a better question. Where, in a culture of speed and disposability, do we learn to be creatures again? Its answer: at the table, in the water, among the poor, on a particular piece of ground. These ideas feel familiar, but they have rarely been argued with this much theological seriousness or this much passion. What moved me most was the insistence that place is not scenery but vocation: that faithfulness means staying somewhere, with someone, long enough for grace to do its slow work. A wise and timely book.”
