Yet while religious discourse buttressed such oppressive activities as slavery and the destruction of native populations, oppressed communities have also made use of religion to critique and challenge this abuse. As Liberation Theologies in the United States demonstrates, this critical use of religion has often taken the form of liberation theologies, which use primarily Christian principles to address questions of social justice, including racism, poverty, and other types of oppression.Stacey M. Floyd-Thomas and Anthony B. Pinn have brought together a stellar group of liberation theology scholars to provide a synthetic introduction to the historical development, context, theory, and goals of a range of U.S.-born liberation theologies. Chapters cover Black Theology, Womanist Theology, Latino/Hispanic Theology, Latina Theology, Asian American Theology, Asian American Feminist Theology, Native American Theology, Native Feminist Theology, Gay and Lesbian Theology, and Feminist Theology.Contributors: Grace Ji-Sun Kim, Mary McClintock Fulkerson, Nancy Pineda-Madrid, Robert Shore-Goss, Andrea Smith, Andrew Sung Park, George (Tink) Tinker, and Benjamin Valentin. 606 $aLiberation theology$zUnited States 606 $aTheology, Doctrinal$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xChurch history$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xChurch history$y21st century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLiberation theology 615 0$aTheology, Doctrinal 676 $a202 701 $aFloyd-Thomas$b Stacey M.$f1969-$01027639 701 $aPinn$b Anthony B$0872740 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456855803321 996 $aLiberation theologies in the United States$92443208 997 $aUNINA
