Reinhold Niebuhr in the 1960s
The Civil Rights Movement. The Cuban Missile Crisis. The assassination of a president and a senator. Praise turns into protest; hope into disenchantment. The 1960s was an era born in hope that ended in deep conflict. during this era, Reinhold Niebuhr, once dubbed "America's theologian," retired from Union Seminary in New York. in this book, the author introduces us to Niebuhr's life in the 1960s from his critical vantage point as Niebuhr's former student and later, colleague. Though little has been published about this decade in Niebuhr's life, the author's analysis shows a theologian whose work shifts to speak more effectively to the less religious, more secular world around him. The author introduces readers to never-before-seen letters between the author and Reinhold and Ursula Niebuhr, which shed light not only on the impact Niebuhr had on the 1960s but also on the way the 1960s shaped Niebuhr.
Just Debt
.".. We [have] come to have a delimited and skewed view on debt and its economy ... In this book, I argue, a more holistic social ethics of debt is established by reintegrating these two essential elements of debt: logic and story. From the perspective of a more holistic ethics of debt, neoliberal concept of debt is problematic because by neglecting the story aspect of debt, it has enervated the moral ethos of debt rendering it as a matter of mere contract and mechanical calculation"--Introduction.
Authentic Christian Freedom: Deconstructing the American Gospel of Liberty
What is freedom? Drawing from feminist, womanist, and postcolonial thought, Elizabeth Hinson-Hasty offers an authentic Christian vision of freedom rooted in interdependence and living for the sake of others. Deconstructing competing notions of "freedom from," "freedom to," and "freedom for," Hinson-Hasty attends to intersections of theologies of oppression and today's culture wars. She issues an urgent call for religious leaders to challenge our cultural obsession with separatism by teaching a liberating, relational counter-narrative that fosters beloved communities of justice and belonging. From reframing the Exodus story to recasting freedom's meaning, this crucial work charts a path forward toward a more just, loving, and connected understanding of what it truly means to be free.
Encountering the Sacred
Many women of faith are interested in having deep conversations with their friends and families about issues they face in their personal lives. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of feminist and theologically progressive materials for these women to turn to for counsel or advice. Simultaneously, there are a growing number of theologically trained biblical scholars, theologians, and ministers who are experiencing similar life challenges, but who are generally discouraged from writing about these experiences in ways that would be accessible to the general public. This book bridges the chasm between Christian laywomen and feminist theologians. For the last fifty years, feminist theologians have s...
