Informationen zum Autor Edited by Joerg Rieger - Contributions by Nestor O. Miguez; Michelle A. Gonzalez; Jung Mo Sung; Miguel A. De La Torre and Nancy Elizabeth Bedford Klappentext In this volume prominent Latin American and U.S. Latino/a scholars of theology and religion work together to present insights into the latest developments of their fields in the tensions between North and South in the Americas. A timely and on target book. Well-tied and well organized, this collection of essays on "border thinking" from the south and the north of the Americas, calls for "deep solidarity" and a nomadic understanding of a God who is weak in power and strong in love. The book offers compelling arguments for a migratory epistemology, as well as moving testimonies on the many dimensions of what crossing means, geographically or culturally. Its leaves enticingly invite the reader to cross the borders of her or his own comfort zone to meet danger, but also the promise of liberation. A most welcome book and not to mention long overdue! -- Vitor Westhelle, Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago Zusammenfassung In this volume prominent Latin American and U.S. Latino/a scholars of theology and religion work together to present insights into the latest developments of their fields in the tensions between North and South in the Americas.
