The Council for World Mission (CWM) is releasing Ritual, Resistance, and Liberation: A Global Intersectional Perspective in late June, published in conjunction with SCM Press, a British publisher of theological titles.
This book is part of a new series of volumes from the Council for World Mission’s DARE (Discernment and Radical Engagement) programme.
Authored by Dr Jin Young Choi, Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins and Professorial Chair in Biblical Studies of the Baptist Missionary Training School at Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School, Ritual, Resistance, and Liberation: A Global Intersectional Perspective explores the intersections of ritual with mechanisms and forces of power such as patriarchy, tradition, colonialism, authoritarianism, and capitalism.
The 240-page volume also details the potential of rituals for resistance, resilience, and restoration.
Helmed by 12 contributors with links to ten countries – Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, India, Mexico, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, and the USA – the collection of writings draws readers to reflect on discursive and performative ritual spaces where painful histories are revisited, traumas of oppression healed, and where impossible futures of coexistence and flourishing are reimagined.
SCM Press is accepting preorders of the book now.
