"James H. Cone is widely recognized as the founder of Black Liberation Theology. With these works he established himself as one of the most prophetic and challenging voices of our time. In this powerful and passionate memoir--his final work--Cone describes the obstacles he overcame to find his voice, to respond to the signs of the times, and to offer a voice for those--like the parents who raised him in Bearden, Arkansas in the era of lynching and Jim Crow--who had no voice. Recounting lessons learned both from critics and students, and the ongoing challenge of his models King, Malcolm X, and James Baldwin, he describes his efforts to use theology as a tool in the struggle against oppression and for a better world."--Provided by publisher.

In this captivating memoir Franciscan Sister Ilia Delio, theologian, ground-breaking author, and one of the most exciting thinkers on the frontiers of dialogue between religion and science, recounts the remarkable journey that took her from scientist to theologian, and from traditional cloistered nun to a leading proponent of evolution and cyborg life.

This book explores the application of catholicity to our spiritual lives, that is, how each of us strives to construct a life that bears both the integrity of ultimate wholeness and the dynamism of real-life change, pluralism, and differentiation.

Selected spiritual writings of Walter Rauschenbusch (1851-1918), a Baptist minister and theologian who was the primary voice of the Social Gospel movement in the early 20th century. His recovery of the social implications of Jesus' teaching on the Kingdom of God prefigured many elements of later liberation theology.

This book takes the notion of evolution from science and gives it a theological context, one that recognizes how deeply anthropomorphism has confused our spiritual and religious options. It aims to enrich Christian life for those who internalize the questions that a secular scientific culture legitimately raises.

With his trademark exploration of the meaning of adult faith in an age marked by new understandings of cosmology, anthropology, quantum physics, and evolution, O'Murchu here also includes reflections on his own spiritual journey, offering an understanding of the Christian message that retains its power precisely by showing how it taps into deep archetypal and symbolic meaning.

The author seeks to answer two questions: Why is the culture of the Catholic Church, despite Vatican II's emphasis on collegiality and transparency, still prone to covering up abuses of power? How can this culture change in order to move forward? This is a timely look at the sex abuse crisis by a scholar who is adept at weaving insights from the social sciences into a framework of practical theology.

"This book expresses a quest for inclusion amid feminist, womanist, and mujerista discourses. Hertig's yinist spirituality is a novel attempt to lift up the voices of female, Asian American voices in Christian ecological theology. She coined the term yinist in the 1990s to "name the nameless Asian American feminism." The term yin refers to the feminine energy of Taoism, in contrast to the male yang. This book will be a valuable resource for the academy, churches, and denominational leaders"--

The author explores the meaning and identity of the human person in light of a renewed theology of creation, the ongoing discoveries of evolution and natural sciences, and newly appropriated resources in the theological tradition.

What is the relationship between salvation, human liberation, and care for creation? Extending the ideas presented in Gustavo Gutierrez's A Theology of Liberation, Daniel Castillo embraces a green liberation theology that recognizes the need for political and ideological paradigm shifts in relation to globalization.
