How should Origen, Anselm, Luther, Wesley, Kierkegaard, Barth, and Whitehead be read today, in light of postcolonial theory and twenty-first-century understandings? This book offers a reader-friendly introduction to liberation theology by having scholars "from the margins" explore how questions of race and gender should be brought to bear on thirty classic theologians. Each short chapter gives historical background for the thinker, describes that thinker's most important contributions, then raises issues of concern for women and persons of color.
Contributors include Rita Nakashima Brock, Cheryl Kirk-Duggan, Harold Recinos, M. Shawn Copeland, Kwok Pui-Lan, Joerg Rieger, and many others.
