Body Becoming
The body that Robyn Henderson-Espinoza inhabits is a nonbinary body, a trans body, a body in two races--and a body continually in discovery. Theirs is also a body on sojourn invested in experience, body understanding, and engagement in and for human thriving. Henderson-Espinoza relates coming into a new body story, beginning with the deep emotional work of connecting the abstract intelligence of their mind with their body's intelligence, to explore the relationship between living and becoming, doing and listening. Combining that deep listening and living with their work in activism, Body Becoming offers us a way of understanding the body beyond constructions--political or medical-industrial-complex defined--toward cultivating the body as important in our endeavors to build a more inclusive vision for democracy. Mixing memoir and faith, somatics theory and body practice, Henderson-Espinoza steers us through territory both familiar and difficult--as we discover embodiment as the primary place of deep wisdom, where culture shifts originate and materialize--and a better world becomes, as we too become.
Activist Theology
In this searing and personal book, intellectual activist and theologian Robyn Henderson-Espinoza bridges the gap between academia and activism, bringing the wisdom of the streets to the work of scholarship, all for the sake of political liberation and social change for marginalized communities. This is an invitation--a powerful and provocative call-to-action--to academic theologians to the work of social activism through movement building. Activist Theology summons all to take up radical acts of labor that uses scholarship and contemplation to build bridges with difference and make connections of solidarity, rooted in collective action. Featuring poetry by Britt¡ni "Ree Belle" Gray, this ri...
The Disabled God Revisited
Lisa D. Powell strengthens and amplifies the claim that God is disabled, made by Nancy Eiesland in her ground breaking book The Disabled God (1994). She offers an alternative understanding of the doctrine of God and the Trinity, resulting in a God who is not autonomous and utterly independent. According to this view, God's triune identity is established in God's decision for covenant, and thus creation is a requirement for the fulfillment of God's nature - not only is the Son always anticipating full embodiment and human nature, but more specifically is eternally anticipating an impaired body. Powell argues that God is not only interdependent within the immanent Trinity, but God experiences real dependency, risk and vulnerability from God's “original” self-determination. Powell revisits Eiesland's claim about Christ's resurrected body and her conclusions about eschatological embodiment, arguing that it is the able-body that does not persist eschatologically, but all humanity journeys toward ever more transparency, vulnerability and interdependency as the Body of Christ.
Holy Hurt
Too often the institutions and communities that are meant to be the most holy in our lives end up deeply hurting us. In Holy Hurt, clinical psychologist Hillary L. McBride sends a sincere and profound message: spiritual trauma is real and has a far-reaching impact. She also reassures us that we can remake ourselves and heal in its aftermath. McBride expertly and compassionately shows that acknowledging the impact of spiritual trauma in our lives allows us to begin to tend our wounds individually and collectively, experiencing reconnection with ourselves and others. She draws on clinical research, trauma literature, insightful interviews with experts, and poignant first-person stories, ending each chapter with a short practice to begin healing. McBride empowers those who have lived through spiritual trauma or witnessed it, as well as those who want to develop healthier church environments and prevent abuse.
The Palgrave Handbook of Queer and Trans Studies in Religion
This Handbook is a first-of-its-kind, high-quality reference resource guiding readers through the burgeoning fields of queer and trans studies in religion, and pointing them toward the newest directions these fields are taking or should take. The chapters cover both theoretical and methodological considerations, and also highlight the histories, perspectives, and ongoing activism of queer and trans people in a wide array of religious contexts. Written by a team of both established senior scholars and emerging scholars, all working on the leading edges of the field, and edited by a senior scholar who also authored the first-ever introduction to the field, this handbook aims to play a role in defining queer and trans studies in religion for years to come.
Resisting Theologies and the Everyday
This powerful volume provides dynamic ways of constructing theologies of resistance and liberation by engaging with the everyday practices of marginalised communities. In doing so, this collection of theological experts reject abstracted concepts of bodes and taxonomies of race, gender, sexuality, and disability. Readers will find this a dynamic book with a variety of approaches that provide ways of constructing theologies of resistance and liberation. Experiences of marginalisation have provided a powerful reference point for developing theologies of justice and liberation; however, theological and political frameworks often reduce the complexity of lived experiences into categories and the...

Opzione finale
Quando la Cia si rende conto che tre delle sue migliori spie sono state smascherate durante una missione in Brasile, chiama in aiuto Juan Cabrillo e l’equipaggio della Oregon per salvare gli agenti. Quella che si presenta a tutti gli effetti come un’operazione di routine, si rivela presto per ciò che realmente è: una trappola orchestrata dal peggior nemico di Cabrillo, un uomo mosso dall’odio e assetato di vendetta. E che malauguratamente ha a disposizione una nave tanto armata, tecnologica e all’avanguardia quanto la Oregon. Con una sola differenza: a bordo non ha lo stesso equipaggio, e non può quindi contare sull’astuzia e sull’esperienza di Cabrillo e dei suoi compagni. Basterà questo a fronteggiare la minaccia e a fare la differenza? Fra rischi di attacchi di sottomarini nucleari, fra scoperte di armi micidiali risalenti alla Seconda Guerra Mondiale e nascoste nel cuore del Brasile, Cabrillo e i suoi avranno le ore contate per scongiurare il più terribile degli scenari. Teso e ricco di suspense, Opzione finale conferma ancora una volta Clive Cussler come indiscusso maestro della narrativa d’avventura.
