Description: In this subtle and illuminating study, Kimberly Rae Connor surveys examples of contemporary literature, drama, art, and music that extend the literary tradition of African-American slave narratives. Revealing the powerful creative links between this tradition and liberation theology's search for grace, she shows how these artworks profess a liberating theology of racial empathy and reconciliation, even if not in traditionally Christian or sacred language. From Frederick Douglass' autobiographical writings through Richard Wright's imaginative reconstruction of slavery to Ernest Gaines' "Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman" and the candescent novels of Toni Morrison, slave narratives exhort the reader to step into the experience of the dispossessed.Connor underscores the broad influence of the slave narrative by considering nonliterary as well as literary works, including Glenn Ligon's introspective art, Anna Deavere Smith's one-woman performance pieces, and Charlie Haden's politically engaged Liberation Music Orchestra. Through these works, readers, listeners, and viewers imagine grace on two levels: as the liberation of the enslaved from oppression and as their own liberation from prejudice and 'willed innocence'. Calling to task a complacent white society that turns a blind eye to deep-seated and continuing racial inequalities, "Imagining Grace" shows how these creative endeavors embody the search for grace, seeking to expose racism in all its guises and lay claim to political, intellectual, and spiritual freedom.

Description: The Columbia Series in Reformed Theology represents a joint commitment by Columbia Theological Seminary and Westminster John Knox Press to provide theological resources from the Reformed tradition for the church today. This series continues in that tradition by examining theological and ethical issues that confront church and society in our own particular time and place. In this unique volume, noted feminist and womanist scholars committed to the Reformed tradition have joined together to reflect on the meaning of its key theological concepts, including Scripture and tradition, the imago Dei, creation, providence, election, and grace. Though highlighting the value found in the Reformed tradition, their essays press on toward new formulations and understandings of the traditional Christian doctrines. In addition to Amy Plantinga Pauw and Serene Jones, the book’s outstanding contributors are Katie Geneva Cannon, Kristine A. Culp, Dawn DeVries, Margit Ernst-Habib, Mary McClintock Fulkerson, Martha Gilliss, Lynn Japinga, Joan M. Martin, Kalbryn McLean, Cynthia L. Rigby, and Leanne Van Dyk.

Description: Beverly Harrison has long fought for women and others at the margins, challenging the subjugating ways in which women's intellectual contributions, their gifts of ministerial leadership, and their reproductive capacity and sexual identity have been defined. This collection of essays and lectures, presented over the course of her career, demonstrates the progression of Harrison's contribution to the field of Christian ethics and the evolution of her thought in response to changing social realities. Throughout the volume, conversations between Harrison and the editors update and amplify her views.

Description: Ideas like the "preferential option for the poor"-arguing that people marginalized by the economy have a claim to "special consideration"-have been among the most significant insights in twentieth-century Christian theology. Arising out of various theologies of liberation, options for the poor and for people at the margins of society have provided major new impulses for biblical studies, systematic theology, church history, ecclesial practice, and the academic study of religion. Opting for the margins continues to be an important issue at a time when the gap between rich and poor is growing at an alarming rate both in the United States and in many other parts of the world, and when other gaps (based, for example, on differences in gender or race) continue to linger.
Recently, however, options for the margins have been challenged by postmodern shifts in intellectual, social, political, and economic realities that often replace preferential options with other emphases, such as general concerns for pluralism, otherness, and difference. Options for the margins are therefore (at best) reduced to the special interests of certain minority groups, or (at worst) rejected as antiquated and irrelevant for the twenty-first century.
The essays in this volume show how some forms of postmodern thought and theology can mask patterns of oppression and provide an excuse for deafness to voices from the margins. The authors, writing from a wide variety of national, ethnic, and theological perspectives, seek to revive the preferential option for the poor for the postmodern world, showing how options for the margins can engage postmodernity in new ways and break new ground in religious, theological, and ethical, as well as social, political, and economic thinking. The essays connect philosophical and theological arguments to the concrete realities of the postmodern world and to uncover new sources of energy in the life and death struggles of people across the globe.
