The Church and Indigenous Peoples in the Americas
Indigenous and non-Indigenous voices come together in this volume to discuss both the wounds of colonial history and the opportunities for decolonization, reconciliation, and hope in the relationship between the church and Indigenous peoples across the Americas. Scholars and pastoral leaders from Chile, Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico, the United States, and Canada, and Indigenous peoples of Mapuche, Chiquitano, Tzeltal Maya, Oglala Sioux, Mi'kmaw, and Anishinaabe-Ojibwe reflect on the possibility of constructing decolonial theology and pastoral praxis, and on the urgent need for transformation of church structures and old theology. The book opens new horizons for different ways of thinking and acting, and for the emergence of a truly intercultural theology.
Postcolonial Theologies
Postcolonial and decolonial studies are generating more and more interest. In the last two decades, a diverse reception of these critical ways of thinking has developed worldwide, including in theology. This textbook aims at providing a fundamental insight into this diverse movement that is discussed globally. In recent years, various attempts have developed in different contexts and language areas around the world to make the learning progress of postcolonial studies fruitful for theology. This introduction takes up many of these examples and organizes them according to a structure based on central terms and methods of postcolonial studies. Numerous examples, literature references, and featured authors encourage readers to delve deeper into individual subject areas and/or authors. Finally, the book is also dedicated to possible consequences for theology and the church in Western contexts.
Decolonizing Liberation Theologies
The publication of this volume marks the Ten Year Anniversary of the Postcolonialism and Religions series. In intersectional and interdisciplinary perspectives, the chapters of this book constitute a complex whole: a volume that does justice to the justice-seeking origins of Latin American Liberation Theology, philosophy, and sociology as it emerged in the 1960s-70s and its development to the present. What drives this book is a common spirit and conviction: Liberation Theologies of the Global South remain relevant to the sociocultural and geopolitical contexts of today, which remain ensconced in the dynamics, exclusions, and resistances that gave rise to Liberation Theologies six decades ago. Today we may speak of interculturality, of borderlands, of in-betweenness, in ways that complicate, confirm, affirm, and interrogate the “underside of history”, and the spaces that are marginalized but de-centered centers of liberation struggle — within, alongside, underneath, over-against societal projects that claim and exclude them, and that represent some of the actual challenges and opportunities to liberation.
World Christianity and Ecological Theologies
World Christianity and Ecological Theologies invites scholars in religious studies and theology from different continents and contexts to a North-South dialogue on environmental ethics, political ecology, and ecofeminism. Throughout the global pandemic, the connection between environmental rapacity, religion, and political interests has once again called scholarly attention to the important conversation on public religion and global environment-related issues. Acknowledging a deficit among scholars of World Christianity in addressing environmental concerns and the field's limited language for framing those concerns, this book aims to bring the fields of study of World Christianity, religion,...
Searching for the Future in the Past
Inclusive and progressive theological and religious perspectives have an important and distinctive contribution to make to an analysis of the critical issues facing women-identified persons in the 21st century. This incisive collection of essays recovers the missing theological voices, grounded in those religious communities and traditions, which gender and sexuality studies often overlook. Feminist theologies have, from their beginnings, aspired to be the communal production of women-identified persons who critically reflect on their experiences in the contexts of culture, social standpoint, religious practices and beliefs, and imagination of the Feminine Divine. Pae and Talvacchia draw from this heritage to engage the critical issues of today to create new perspectives. They create an intellectual and discursive space where feminist theologians in all of their diversity renew and reclaim the rich legacies of the feminist theological tradition through inter-generational, racially diverse, and transnational conversation.
Journal of Latin American Theology, Volume 18, Number 1
This special issue of the Journal of Latin American Theology is a collaboration with Memoria Indígena on Indigenous theology. The explanatory preface by guest editor Drew “Andrés” Jennings-Grisham sets the stage for why Indigenous theologies and contributions are so needed by the global church. Toward that end, this issue of JLAT features more Indigenous voices than any of our previous publications. These voices reach us through poetry (Francisco Pérez Alonzo and Jocabed Solano), a devotional reflection (Benita Simón Mendoza), comments on Bible translation (Sabayu), a documentary film on weaving (reviewed by Samuel Lagunas), and the final summary document of a 2021 Memoria Indígena ...

Misericordia
La "misericordia" es la nota dominante en la visión eclesial, teológica y pastoral del papa Francisco, que declaró el año 2016 Año Jubilar de la Misericordia. Este número de Concilium analiza las contribuciones del papa Francisco, contextualizándolas en las perspectivas más amplias de la Biblia, la historia y la teología. Se propone una interpretación actualizada de las "obras de misericordia"; se compara la misericordia con la compasión y la justicia; se exploran las fuentes del islam para encontrar en ellas la cualidad humana y divina de la misericordia. Con respecto a los significados concretos de la misericordia, los autores y autoras abordan una serie de problemas urgentes, como el estatus de las mujeres en el matrimonio y la familia, la justicia restaurativa, los refugiados y la ecología.
Teologia feminista negra
Este livro nasce do movimento do feminismo negro, africano e decolonial, destacando vozes teológicas de mulheres invisibilizadas e subalternizadas. A teologia colonialista e eurocentrada é confrontada pela promoção de uma autêntica libertação de povos e culturas. Ao longo desta obra, há diversas perspectivas teológicas, moldadas tanto pelo contexto social, cultural e eclesial de cada autora quanto por experiências de marginalização, resistência e re-existência. É uma importante oportunidade de conhecer teólogas do Sul global com suas novas epistemologias, criadoras de espaços de cura e transformação social e eclesial. Este é um convite a que outras mulheres marginalizadas e invisibilizadas, especialmente negras e indígenas, rompam o silêncio imposto pelas violências de gênero e racial.
Enfoques contextuales de la Biblia
La interpretación de la Biblia es tan antigua como la existencia de la propia Biblia. El enfoque contextual de la Biblia ha cobrado cada vez más importancia, siendo el texto bíblico interpretado por los lectores desde el contexto de sus realidades, ya que no podemos pensar en Dios y en la humanidad por separado. La investigación interdisciplinaria puede ayudar a tender puentes entre el texto y la realidad actual de sus lectores. Este número pretende presentar la finalidad y el significado de la interpretación bíblica contextual e ilustrarla mediante ejemplos seleccionados.
