Description

The aim of this handbook is to introduce the reader to Christian concepts from the point of view of U.S. marginalized communities. It explores the interrelationship between religion, community, and culture within the social context of different marginalized groups, specifically the ones rooted within the African American, Amerindian, Asian American, feminist, gay/lesbian, and Hispanic experiences, and their affect at the development of U.S. theologies of liberation. The handbook gives attention to the history, nature, sources, and development of these theologies and the theologians who contributed to their formation. Of particular interest is how Handbook of U.S. Theologies of Liberation clearly distinguishes both the variations and similarities between these U.S. theologies and their Latin American counterparts. The handbook is divided into two sections: Thematic Essays that provide a general overview of a specific theological theme from the perspectives of different marginalized groups; and Contextual Essays that concentrate on the precise contributions of scholars from more than a few racial, ethnic, and gender backgrounds.
