Hate is unveiled on our streets. Politics is polarized and the cohesion of communities is under stress and threat. Religious and theological leaders appear compromised or paralyzed. Robert S. Heaney grew up in a Northern Ireland where enmity paraded itself and policed the boundaries between segregated identities and aspirations. Such conflict, with deep historic roots, is inextricably linked to religion and colonization. The theologizing of colonialism, and the ongoing implications of colonialism, cannot be ignored by those who wish to understand the most intractable of human conflicts. Religious adherents and scholars are increasingly seeking to understand colonialism and decolonization in theological terms. The field of post-colonial studies, across a range of contexts and in a complex network of inter-disciplinary analyses, has emerged as a major scholarly movement seeking to provide resources for such a task. Theologians have increasingly seen the field as a resource and have made their own contributions to its development. However, depending as it does on a series of theoretical and technical commitments, post-colonialism remains inaccessible to the uninitiated. Beginning with his own particular context of formation, in this book Heaney provides an accessible introduction to post-colonial theology.

This is the first of two volumes of essays from the Ecclesiological Investigations International Research Network's 14th International Conference focused on decolonizing churches and theology, addressing oppressions based on gender, racial, and ethnic identities; economic inequality; social vulnerabilities; climate change and global challenges such as pandemics, neoliberalism, and the role of information technology in modern society, all connected with the topic of decolonization. The essays in this volume focus on decoloniality in religious and theological dialogue, migration, history, and education, written from historical, dogmatic, social scientific, and liturgical perspectives.

Este libro hace un riguroso recorrido por las teologías del Sur global: africana, asiática, latinoamericana, indígena y negra estadounidense, ubicándolas en sus contextos y en sus más significativas tendencias: feminista, ecológica, de la liberación, de las religiones. Son teologías emergentes, contrahegemónicas y creadoras de discursos alternativos que intentan responder a los grandes desafíos actuales: el colonialismo, el patriarcado, el racismo epistemológico, el capitalismo, la depredación de la naturaleza, la crisis de la democracia y los fundamentalismos. Estas teologías transitan, en actitud de búsqueda, por los caminos del diálogo intercultural, interreligioso, interétnico e interdisciplinar. Sus sucesivos itinerarios por el diálogo fueron despertando al autor del sueño dogmático de los comienzos de su andadura teológica. Desinstalándole de su cómoda ubicación en la modernidad europea, le han abierto a nuevos horizontes epistemológicos. La conciencia de la pervivencia del colonialismo y de las carencias del proceso de descolonización ha dado lugar a esta innovadora propuesta de un cambio de paradigma en el relato teológico bajo el giro descolonizador, que cuestiona el eurocentrismo y tiene en cuenta la diversidad de escenarios geoculturales, políticos y religiosos.

Johnny Bernard Hill argues that prophetic rage, or righteous anger, is a necessary response to our present culture of imperialism and nihilism. The most powerful way to resist meaninglessness, he says, is refusing to accept the realities of structural injustice, such as poverty, escalating militarism, genocide, and housing discrimination. Hill's Prophetic Rage is interdisciplinary, integrating art, music, and literature with theology. It is constructive, passionate, and provocative. Hill weaves through a myriad of creative and prophetic voices of protest -- from Jesus to W.E.B. DuBois, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and President Barack Obama -- as well as multiple approaches, including liberation theology and black religion, to reflect theologically on the nature of liberation, justice, and hope on contemporary culture.
