In Untouchable Bodies, Resistance, and Liberation, Joshua Samuel constructs an embodied comparative theology of liberation by comparing divine possessions among Hindu and Christian Dalits in South India. Critiquing the problems inherent in prioritizing texts when studying religious traditions, Samuel calls for the need to engage in body and people centered interreligious learning. This comparative theological reading of ecstatic experiences of the divine in Dalit bodies in Hinduism and Christianity brings out the powerful liberative potential inherent in the bodies of the oppressed, enabling us to identify alternative modes of resistance and new avenues of liberation among those who are dehumanized and discriminated, and to find deeper and meaningful ways of speaking about God in the context of oppression.

"Christlicher Glaube ist von seinem Wesen her dialogisch strukturiert. Um diese Einsicht, ihre Voraussetzungen und Konsequenzen für die unterschiedlichen Disziplinen der Theologie sowie für ökumenische Verständigungsprozesse kreisen die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge. Dabei spannt sich ein weiter Bogen, angefangen bei dialogischen Grundformen theologischer Rede in der Bibel bis hin zum strukturierten Dialog über fundamental-theologische Fragen auf ökumenischer Ebene. Die Autorinnen und Autoren unterschiedlicher Konfessionen ehren damit zugleich, anlässlich seines 65. Geburtstags, den baptistischen Theologen und Ökumeniker Uwe Swarat." --provided by publisher

"Long a vital fixture in the University of Chicago's intellectual community, David Tracy (b. 1939) is also widely considered the most important Catholic theologian in North America. He is known for his work on the pluralistic context of theology and his embrace of ambiguity as a necessary and enriching facet of religious life. Tracy's work is unusual for its disciplinary breadth, drawing on science, literature, the arts, Continental philosophy, psychoanalysis, and non-Western religious traditions. This second volume of his "Selected Essays" is devoted to profiles of significant theologians, philosophers, and religious thinkers. The first volume (already transmitted) gathers Tracy's most important essays on broad theological questions. The title of volume 2 refers to Walt Whitman's "filaments," which are thrown out from the speaking self to others (ancient, medieval, modem, and contemporary) in order to "catch somewhere, O my soul." Tracy's essays on these individual interlocutors are arranged in rough chronological order from ancient theology (Augustine) through medieval (William of St. Thierry) to early modem (Martin Luther) to modem and contemporary (Bernard Lonergan, Karl Rahner, Reinhold Niebuhr, Paul Tillich, et al.). Taken together, these essays can be understood as a partial initiation into a history of Christian theology, defined by Tracy's key virtues of plurality and ambiguity. These two volumes of essays--Tracy's first books in over twenty years-will be greeted as a major event for Catholic theology and religious studies more generally"--

"If ever a period of time felt 'fractured' it is now. Whatever way we turn, we witness the dismembering and fracturing of many previously-taken-for-granted realities, with maps and borders - physical and metaphorical - being redrawn before our eyes. In Fragments for fractured times, Nicola Slee demonstrated the richness and variety of feminist practical theology. What feminist theology brings to the table of scholarly thinking and embodied practice is, she suggests, something creative, artful, prophetic as well as playful - a resource for Christian living and thinking in fractured times"--Page 4 of cover.

El objetivo en este texto es presentar la experiencia de la resurrección, el hecho o el acontecimiento, suponiendo los datos de los evangelios y las reflexiones de varios teólogos; se busca, con base en estos elementos, realizar una pastoral catequética que ayude a los cristianos a hacer de la resurrección el fundamento de sus vidas. Son muchos los interrogantes que se presentan en el momento de afrontar la realidad misma de la resurrección y de los que los fieles deben ir tomando consciencia cada vez más plena, sabiendo que la resurrección se hace presente en la vida sacramental que el señor Jesús instituyó en la Iglesia y para comunicar su vida mediante el Espíritu Santo. Aunque el tema de la resurrección es suficiente extenso, lo presentaremos mediante tres capítulos: una valoración teológica, una reflexión pastoral y unas conclusiones. Estos capítulos facilitan de un modo pastoral catequético ese gran acontecimiento de la resurrección de Jesucristo.
