Skills for Safeguarding

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“More than a practical textbook for safeguarding, this is a theologically grounded call for advocacy. Richly informed by leading specialists, it offers not only a multiangled approach to understanding abuse and the effect it has on survivors but also a guide to self-care in developing the necessary skills for safeguarding. With helpful questions for both personal reflection and wider application, this is a book we should all lean into.”

Toward a Micro-Political Theology

Theology

“Have we expected too much of ‘liberation’ in our pursuit of social justice? Has liberation theology fallen captive to the competition for who can speak for the most oppressed? In the most comprehensive engagement between Michel Foucault and liberation theology to date, the brilliant Yin-An Chen builds on Foucault’s micro-politics of resistance to help us rethink ascetic practice not as the renunciation of sexuality, desire, and the body, but a constant process of self-transformation.”
