Postcolonializing God

Postcolonializing God draws critically on postcolonial theory and practice in a constructive theological exercise. The title deliberately plays on human (constructing 'god, i. e. theology) and divine (the God that inspires and acts on postcolonializing activities) action in constructive interplay. Essentially, Emmanuel Lartey argues for new ways of thinking about divine presence and action - and by implication new ways of pastoral and missional practice - inspired by postcolonial reality and critique. Drawing particularly on African and Asian postcolonial experience and thought, the work will be of interest to a wide audience especially in the areas of practical theology, constructive theology, Black theology, Third-World theologies and postmodern theologies.Read less
