Theology After Gaza: A Global Anthology

Mitri Raheb and Graham McGeoch, Eds.

(Cascade Books)

This is a book about genocide and Gaza. Gaza has become the moral compass of our world today. In this war, theology was weaponized against the Palestinian people by both Israeli politicians and Christian Zionists. It is a book inspired by Palestinian liberation theologies. The book foregrounds scholarly and practical responses to the Israeli invasion of a part of the occupied Palestinian territories widely referred to as Gaza in the media and popular discourse. However, the book also situates Gaza and Palestine in the longue durée of settler colonialism, colonialities of power, and the underside of modernity.

Theology After Gaza: A Global Anthology is fruit of the urgency of the time. Inspired by Palestinian liberation theologies, it articulates some of the “death of God,” and the moral and ethical outrage familiar to those versed in Western Christianity and theology. It also explores Gaza as an exteriority—an exteriority to Western Christianity and theology, to the international system, and as a counter witness to Zionism. This anthology is the first-of-its-kind, timely, and relevant contribution that tackles a relevant issue of global importance with well-known authors and prolific writers, including Jewish and Muslim scholars.

Living Black Theology: Decolonizing Knowledg

Anthony G. Reddie

( Oxford UP )

Living Black Theology provides a challenging and radical critique of the present world order. It argues that the world as we experience it presently has its roots in the era of slavery and European colonialism, especially the British empire, the largest example of imperialism in human history. Written by the first Professor of Black Theology in the history of the University of Oxford, Living Black Theology offers a bold reassessment of how we can rethink the past that will challenge our contemporary ways of living. Ultimately, this text seeks to help us reimage and remake the future, one that is more equitable and just for all peoples. This is a landmark book.
