Erotic Faith

Theology

“At this time of virulent injustice, this essential book offers a clarion call for Christians to do two things—honestly confront and reckon with the ways that their tradition has justified domination, cruelty, and exploitation, and wholeheartedly embrace, nurture, and expand the aspects of that tradition that enable them to live with radical compassion, mutual respect, and reciprocity with other peoples and with the natural world that enchants, delights, and sustains us.”

Precious Precarity

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This book is a must-read: a brilliant, compelling, and timely exploration of one of the greatest ethical, theological, and political challenges of our time. How do we counter the political denial of the humanity of those families migrating to the United States in search of safety, and instead honor their integrity and profound courage? Boursier provides an evocative resource for this vital work, honoring the spiritual resilience and deep faith of those families seeking safety and the life-changing solidarity of those volunteers and advocates who support them with compassion and creativity in this painful and precarious endeavor--the search for a safe place that can become home, where justice is embodied and all can thrive.”

Religion, Politics, and the Christian Right

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Mark Lewis Taylor's critique of American imperialism is searing, and his vision of radical liberalism is creative, insightful, and inspiring. Essential reading for all committed to the revolutionary spirit of democratic governance and ongoing emancipation.”

Sallie McFague

Theology

“The power of McFague's work is in its ability to speak to the American Protestant mainstream, challenging Christians with models of God that reflect both ecological sensitivity and concern for justice.”
