Rainbows on a Crying Planet
Contributed articles on Christianity, in honor of a theologian from Sri Lanka.
The Eucharist and Human Liberation
The Eucharist is at the heart of individual Christian devotion and at the center of every Christian community. Tissa Balasuriya challenges us to see the relation between the spiritual Bread of Life and the staff of life, food for the physically hungry, who make up one-third of the world. This is disturbing but dynamic reading for all who gather at the Table of the Lord's Supper.
Planetary Theology
issa Balasuriya, a Sri Lankan theologian already well known to English readers from his The Eucharist and Human Liberation, argues that over the past few centuries a world systeMof unjust relationships has been set up, to which the churches have contributed, not least as a result of some unexamined aspects of their theology.

The excommunication has caused a storm of controversy in Christian and secular circles, mainly because of the lack of due canonical process, or public debate about the theological issues raised. In this book, at last, that debate takes place. Here, for the first time outside Sri Lanka, is the full text of Mary and Human Liberation itself. Here are the major documents that make up the so-called Balasuriya File.
