Given Paul's vision of God's kingdom defined by the breakdown of all distinctions and relationships of domination--no longer Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female--how do we make sense of ethnic particularity within the church's theological formulations? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRacism and God-Talk\u003c\/b\u003e explores the biblical and religious dimensions of North American racism while highlighting examples of resistance within the Christian religious tradition. Social historians have seldom analyzed the problematic of race from a primarily theological perspective. This volume undertakes a critical examination of explicitly theological and confessional perspectives for understanding and transforming North American racism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRosario Rodriguez offers insights from Latino\/a theology for broader scholarly and social discussions concerning racism, borders, and immigration. The first to analyze race and racism from a Latino\/a theological perspective, the volume makes use of a broadened conceptualization of mestizaje, or mutual cultural exchange, to challenge the church to recognize the effects of racial and ethnic particularity in all theological construction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruben Rosario Rodriguez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.38h x 5.83w x 0.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814776117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRodriguez, Ruben Rosario:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eRubén Rosario Rodríguez\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor in the Department of Theological Studies at Saint Louis University.
