Hearing and Knowing

Theology

“"This book is a remarkable synthesis of history, theology, and missions. It is one of the most important books of the decade because it is written by a Ghanian Christian woman who resides in Nigeria and has travelled the world-over demanding that we no longer allow traditional theological puzzles to go unexamined. Oduyoye's writings are like a breath of fresh air to women in ministry and in the church.”

Pharaohs on Both Sides of the Blood-Red Waters

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Boesak’s keen analyses and persuasive arguments invite readers to take seriously contemporary cries for freedom and the braided significance of world-wide longing for justice. Allan Boesak says there comes a time in freedom struggles when we must acknowledge the transformative power of religion. Many scholars who study transatlantic hegemony possess an impulse to cut corners, and in turn, they are inattentive, conceptually timid, and lack vital engagement in assessing the ‘power of Sizwe,’ the soul-force in liberation movements.”

Terror and Triumph

“The defining innovation in Anthony Pinn's Terror and Triumph is the perceptive way in which he reads enslaved Black bodies as religious texts. One can hardly overstate the value of Pinn's attention to cultural details and his excellent interpretation of interdisciplinary sources. Terror and Triumph is essential reading for all who want to understand better the terror of human cruelty and the triumph of embodied resiliency.”

Walking with the Mud Flower Collective

Theology

“Many will learn much about justice-making from this wise and intelligent book, Walking with the Mud Flower Collective. Stina Busman Jost shows readers how a dialogic methodology carries us further along in actualizing a relevant trajectory of feminist liberation theologies. This book is essential for understanding how women of all races, and men who cast their lot with us, can be different but not alienated.”

Witnessing and Testifying

History & Biography

“This is an excellent example of womanist theological studies. Ross cogently argues the moral logic and religious convictions of seven African American women who played decisive roles in the Civil Rights Movement. Ross' lucid cognitive maps offer important and long overdue assessments of each woman's moral agency and the milieu in which she worked as a doer-of-justice. The force with which Ross clarifies concretely the race, sex, class indignities as they arise in the context of the Civil Rights Movement is of utmost importance. On the whole, a much needed testimony.”
