Speaking of God in an Inhumane World, Volume 1

Theology

“This informative and impassioned collection of essays demonstrates richly Christopher Rowland’s ‘intellectual commuting’ between the constant presence of the biblical text and the politics of society and church. This is practical theology at its best. Sustaining attention to liberation theology across a period of thirty-two years, the work is always integrative—relentlessly and organically building connections. Deep thanks to editor David Gowler for offering us this resource for living in an inhumane world.”

Speaking of God in an Inhumane World, Volume 2

Theology

“Attention to historical perspectives opens up a critical space, in which we may see our present situation more truly. This second volume of Christopher Rowland’s essays inspiringly complements volume 1 and its focus on liberation theology by offering incisive and challenging examinations of historical figures whose lives and work—focused within the apocalyptic and the radical traditions of Christianity—provoke our imaginations to understand and ‘rouse our faculties to act’ in today’s inhumane world.”
