"In this study, Abraham Smith introduces the nature, history, and interventions of two theoretical-political cultural productions: Black/Africana studies (the systematic and rigorous study of Africa and African descendants) and Black/Africana biblical studies (a biblical studies' subfield that analyzes and appraises the strategies of reception and the historical and contemporary impact of the Christian bible for people of African descent). Both cultural productions were formally introduced in U.S. educational institutions in the late 1960s as a part of the Black Freedom movement. Both have long and deep intellectual antecedents on the one hand and ever-evolving recent interventions that challenge a narrow politics of identity on the other. Through the interrogation of keywords (such as race, family, and Hip Hop or cartographies, canons, and contexts), moreover, the study examines how these two theoretical-political projects question the settled epistemologies or prevailing intellectual currencies of their respective times"--

For many evangelicals, liberation theology seems a distant notion. Some might think it is antithetical to evangelicalism, while others simply may be unfamiliar with the role evangelicals have played in the development of liberation theologies and their profound effect on Latin American, African American, and other global subaltern Christian communities. Despite the current rise in evangelicals focusing on justice work as an element of their faith, evangelical theologians have not adequately developed a theological foundation for this kind of activism. Evangelical Theologies of Liberation and Justice fills this gap by bringing together the voices of academics, activists, and pastors to articulate evangelical liberation theologies from diverse perspectives. Through critical engagement, these contributors consider what liberation theology and evangelical tenets of faith have to offer one another. Evangelical thinkers -- including Soong-Chan Rah, Chanequa Walker-Barnes, Robert Chao Romero, Paul Louis Metzger, and Alexia Salvatierra -- survey the history and outlines of liberation theology and cover topics such as race, gender, region, body type, animal rights, and the importance of community. Scholars, students, and churches who seek to engage in reflection and action around issues of biblical justice will find here a unique and insightful resource. Evangelical Theologies of Liberation and Justice opens a conversation for developing a specifically evangelical view of liberation that speaks to the critical justice issues of our time. - Publisher.

Meer dan vroeger zijn mensen vrij om betekenis te geven aan hun leven, om zelf waarden te kiezen die voor hen belangrijk zijn. Welke gevolgen heeft dat voor het gesprek over zingeving en spiritualiteit met de volgende generatie? Een gedeelde context van religie en kerk is voor velen immers weggevallen. Is een persoonlijke getuigenis hoe zingeving en spiritualiteit zich in het eigen leven hebben ontwikkeld dé of een manier om iets aan kinderen, leerlingen, studenten te communiceren? Eén van de mogelijke methoden om een getuigenis te delen is die van de 'spirituele autobiografie'. Ontwikkeld in de VS is deze werkwijze in Nederland geïntroduceerd door Jannet Delver. Inmiddels wordt deze methode aan wo- en hbo-opleidingen in Nederland toegepast. Ook voor groepsgesprekken met cliënten blijkt het schrijven en delen van de spirituele biografie bij te dragen tot het (her)vinden van krachtbronnen in moeilijke levensomstandigheden.
