Interconnectivity, Subversion, and Healing in World Christianity: Essays in honor of Joel Carpenter

Editat de Dr Afe Adogame, Aminta Arrington
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 aug 2023
The rise of Christianity around the world has been the impetus for much religious and social change. The interconnectivity of religious centers has resulted in theological dialogue and innovation. The subversion of long-held categories of culture, gender, race, spirituality, theology, and politics has naturally occurred along with the transgressing of borders and boundaries. Yet at the same time, there has been occasion for healing through intercultural experiences of forgiveness, peacemaking, and reconciliation.Stimulated by the work and mentorship of Joel Carpenter, who has done much to expand the study of world Christianity less through focusing on his own research and writing, and more through amplifying the voices of others, the international contributors to this volume from all six continents promote a deeper understanding of World Christianity through the exploration of such related themes.Whether discussing primal spirituality in northeast India, white supremacy in South Africa, evangelical women and civic engagement in Kenya, or Calvinism in Mexico, the contributors draw upon ethnographic case studies to more deeply understand interconnectivity, subversion, and healing in World Christianity. Their essays provoke a reorientation of Christian thought within the study of World Christianity, enriching the current discourse and promoting vistas for further interdisciplinary studies.

Recenzii

Bringing together theologians, historians, anthropologists, and practitioners from around theworld, this collection illustrates the intellectual vibrancy that exists within this field, a vibrancy JoelCarpenter was instrumental in encouraging. With this volume, Adogame and Arrington have givenus a great resource for the diverse approaches that comprise the study of World Christianity. Everyscholar, student, and teacher interested in World Christianity will find something in this book to spurtheir knowledge forward.
These essays are a fitting tribute to Joel Carpenter, the well-known facilitator and collaborator of thestudy of World Christianity as an academic discipline in and outside of the USA. His perception ofGod's work in the world, his administrative abilities, his financial acumen, his intellectual honesty,and winning personality strengthen senior and younger scholars of World Christianity. Following hisprecepts, the essayists explore vital expressions of World Christianity in their living contexts.
