A Biblical Study Guide for Equal Pulpits
Women
“Hertig’s A Biblical Study for Equal Pulpits persuasively argues that women of color who are preachers and teachers are the future of the prophetic Christian movement. It’s a must-read in our churches, colleges, and faith-rooted justice movements!”
Preaching & Worship
“In the Age of Trump, Craig Watts's Bowing Toward Babylon offers a concise critique of Christian nationalism. Liturgies form identities in the church, but also in the nation-state. Christ-centered worship and social witness, not nationalism, should shape the allegiances, identities and loyalties of the twenty-first-century church.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Miguel De La Torre’s Decolonizing Christianity is a tour de force. Colonization is not only a takeover of nations but an active takeover of knowledge. Challenging the colonizing theology of racialized nationalism, De La Torre courageously calls us to follow Christ toward actual freedom.”
Theology
“If Evangelical theology has a future, it’s postcolonial. If you are looking for the best introduction to postcolonial theology, this is it!”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Liberative ethics demands a crucifixion of hope. Miguel A. De La Torre's Embracing Hopelessness is a frontal assault on Jürgen Moltmann's Theology of Hope, unveiling the Eurocentric triumphalism at the heart of the eschatological ethics of Europe. By embracing hopelessness, followers of Jesus today renounce all illusions of political progress, while steadily seeking to embody a shalom justice that surpasses all understanding through revolutionary love. Writing each chapter in conversation with a theologian of another race, ethnicity or religion, De Le Torre hearkens a new form of social ethics for the 21st century-- Ética de conjunto ("ethics done jointly"). The third volume of his trilogy is a fiery manifesto for justice, weaving together deep wisdom with humility and grace.”
Indigenous Theology and the Western Worldview
Theology
“Indigenous Theology and the Western Worldview shakes the very foundations of Christian theology, challenging us to rebuild from the ruins, celebrating the gracious gift of Indigenous people's creation-centered, narrative-based vision of the Jesus Way.”
World Religions
“A courageous challenge to the church and synagogue, Jews and Christians Together is a clarion call to abandon our preoccupation with preservation and to risk revolutionary friendships for justice and liberation.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Dr. Lewis T. Tait Jr. and Dr. Christian Van Gorder’s Normalcy Never Again shakes us out of our status quo, calling us to a prophetic antiracist future for all God’s children.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Miguel A. De La Torre’s Resisting Apartheid America: Living the Badass Gospel offers an illuminating theological and ethical analysis of racism, inspiring a faith-rooted movement to lean into a prophetic intercultural future. When we fight for racial justice, we bear courageous witness to the true revolutionary vision of Jesús.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“After On the Incarnation by Athanasius, The First Advent in Palestine by Kelley Nikondeha is the best book I've read on the incarnation, peace, and hope. Buy it, read it, and embody it in your community!”
