Bøger af James Alison

Offers a theological exploration of a huge change of mind: the change which the apostolic group underwent as a result of the Resurrection - and how that paradigm can transform the world today. Making use of the thought of Rene Girard, the author shows how the God who was revealed by Jesus subverted the violent language, imagery and expectations of the early Christians.

Offering thought-provoking approaches to the contraversial issue of homosexuality and faith, the author presents an account of Christianity that is rooted in the Catholic tradition.

Provides analyses of religion and violence, reconciliation and forgiveness and gay/straight issues by one of the most original voices in Catholic theology.

The sequel to "Faith Beyond Resentment", one of the most widely-discussed works of theology of recent years, which established gay Catholic writer James Alison as one of the most original voices in the church.

Discrimination against gays and lesbians extends from the highest echelons of the Catholic Church to the pews. For James Alison, a gay Catholic theologian, the key to moving beyond resentment is a radical re-conversion to the gospel message of God's love and understanding that even those in power are our brothers and sisters.

This original work of theological anthropology looks at original sin in the light of the Resurrection, and shows how forgiveness has become the way of transformation.
