Recommended by: Diego Salazar Galvis
Why it might be helpful: What is theopoetics? Once a field dominated by white liberals in the ivory tower, this embodied form of theology has flourished in the work of a new generation of scholars of color. In this groundbreaking book edited by Oluwatomisin Olayinka Oredein and Lakisha R. Lockhart-Rusch, a diverse team of theologians shows how theopoetics can be practiced “in color.” This is an opportunity to open their theological view to a more integrated cross-cultural theology.
