A God Who Cares?

Theology

“This unique publication addresses the unnerving question of what God is up to as we live through this magnitude of irreversible destruction to our Faletele, our Great House. It articulates the irreparable disruption to what indigenous dirt communities call “indeterminate harmony”, one that provides patterns and symbols of resilience as guides in the path of the possessive determinism of our time. Amid the “Anthropocene”, the volume calls for a theological restorying beyond the usual God-providence talk, recognizing new ethical shifts and an alternative array of responses from around the world to articulate God’s care. A must read!”

Lived Theology for the Whole of Life

Theology

“Lived Theology is a personal, experiential, storied, and multidisciplinary response to the living issues of our time in a quest for a ‘whole of life’ story, a story that is central to the vision of the Pacific Theological College. As a theologian who lived and practiced theology in the Pasifika communities, Lydia Johnson carefully weaves and presents a multidimensional basket of lived theology emanating out of the memory of living spaces, living faith, living traditions, and living relations, outside of the rules of academia. There is no doubt that Pasifika theological discourse will benefit from her wisdom as an elder of theology.”
