La teología feminista cristiana surge de la percepción del feminismo contemporáneo como un desafío fundamental para el cristianismo, referido sobre todo a la dignidad de las mujeres y la plena humanidad de todos los seres humanos. Se trata, en cierto sentido, de la búsqueda de cómo hablar de Dios rectamente para impulsar relaciones de igualdad y reciprocidad entre varones y mujeres, porque el lenguaje –también el teológico– moldea la realidad que habitamos.

Este es un libro que habla sobre Dios. Un libro para todos, mujeres y hombres. Un libro que busca una comprensión de Dios que nos hermane en Cristo como miembros de una misma comunidad, independientemente del sexo que tengamos. La teóloga y artista multidisciplinar Silvia Martínez Cano hace un recorrido, desde la antropología, la historia y la teología, de la presencia de las mujeres creyentes en la historia y en la Iglesia; realiza una síntesis de las propuestas, visiones y lenguajes teológicos que han ofrecido las teologías femeninas y feministas en los últimos 60 años; aclara conceptos; provoca preguntas; ayuda a comprender nuestro presente y reserva un espacio para proclamar los sueños y propuestas sinodales de las mujeres creyentes. Porque «ser creyente y feminista en estos momentos es casi una obligación para el que quiera seguir a Jesús».

Sharon E. Heaney describes how the life-giving interruption of Latin American poets, novelists, artists, and theologians changed her life in a conflict-ridden Northern Ireland. An outsider, in this study she provides an engagement with a stream of theology in the United States she takes to be exemplary. Latino/a/x theology is teología en conjunto (collaborative theology). It models ways to examine complicated and contested histories and identities, and it resists dominant assumptions about theological points of departure in favor of also valuing the everyday as locus theologicus. Identifying major themes and foundational thinkers, alongside more recent developments, Heaney offers an overview and invites readers to further reading, study, and formation. Modelling what it esteems, each chapter closes in conversation with a Latino/a/x leader in the church. The conclusion is written by practical theologian, Altagracia Pérez-Bullard. She affirms, this “is not just an intellectual exercise, . . . this engagement . . . is the practice of our lives as we journey with God and as we journey with one another. . . . It is an exciting journey. It changes us.”

The author argues that violence against women today requires a rethinking of salvation. Yet, to make this case necessitates an understanding of violence against women in its particularity without which the author's argument, at best, will only limp along, falling flat, or remain an exercise in abstraction.

Regarding the question of office in the Christian churches, this volume illuminates with heightened ecumenical sensitivity the arguments for the participation of women in all church offices and ministries, without which there will be no way to the visible unity of the churches. It documents the ecumenical congress that took place in Osnabrück in December 2017 and the “Osnabrück theses”—meant to serve the future international and ecumenical conversation and further discussion about the questions of women in church offices—passed by the congress. The editors hope that this publication will help to set into motion a debate about ministries and services in the Church, which has been stagnant for a long time, and that it will become clear that these questions can only be answered together—by men and women—from now on.

Latinxs, the Bible, and Migration

This book examines the conjunction between migration and biblical texts with a focus on Latinx histories and experiences. Essays reflect upon Latinxs, the Bible, and migration in different ways: some consider how the Bible is used in the midst of, or in response to, Latinx experiences and histories of migration; some use Latinx histories and experiences of migration to examine Biblical texts in both First and Second Testaments; some consider the “Bible” as a phenomenological set of texts that respond to and/or compel migration. Cultural, literary, and postcolonial theories inform the analysis, as does the exploration of how migrant groups themselves scripturalize their biblical and cultural texts.

In this book, the author draws on two original sources, on a Greek biographer, historian, and rhetorician, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, as well as on Pompeian domestic art and architecture. Generally, NT scholars read texts, but Greeks and ancient Romans loved beauty. The walls and floors of their houses were decorated with thousands of colorful frescoes and mosaics, art that two millennia later is still on display in Pompeii. Christians lived and worshipped in those typical houses; relating the art to NT texts generates many intriguing new questions! What stories/myths did Greeks and Romans see every day? What were their sports, and how violent were they? Many NT scholars know as much or more Latin than they do Greek, and they therefore cite the Latin historian Livy rather than the Greek Dionysius, who wrote a century before the first Christian historian, Luke. Dionysius’ rhetoric expressed values shared across cultures, by Greeks, Romans, and Jews (e.g., by the historian—and rhetorician—Josephus), some values that Luke also shares. Dionysius makes clear that cities and ethnic groups had to praise how they treated emigrant foreigners, questions handled differently by Josephus and by Luke. This enables new interpretations of Jesus’ inaugural speech in Luke 4 and of Peter’s second Pentecost speech in Acts 10.

Travesías de teólogas feministas pioneras da inicio a la tarea de trazar mapas en el "paisaje" de las diversas teologías hechas por mujeres. Propone adentrarse en un conjunto de itinerarios teológicos que irrumpieron con propuestas de rutas por las cuales transitar en temas teológicos, bíblicos, éticos, de espiritualidad y pastoral. Se orienta, además, a dar a conocer el pensamiento teológico y la incidencia que ha tenido un grupo de teólogas que se animaron y se animan a mostrar que toda experiencia es contextual, aventurándose a nuevos ámbitos para la racionalidad, uniendo praxis con teoría. Este primer libro de la serie "Mapas de teologías feministas" presenta travesías teológicas, por medio de estudios de autoras iniciadoras, cuyo contexto geográfico es Alemania, América Latina y Estados Unidos. El adjetivo "feminista/s", intrínsecamente unido a estas travesías teológicas, señala la radicalidad de la dignidad de todas y cada una de las mujeres y su "florecimiento", tanto en las sociedades como en las iglesias. Dignidad que incluye por supuesto a los varones, quienes también sufren las consecuencias del androcentrismo y el sexismo deshumanizantes. Así, todo feminismo en perspectiva inclusiva es un desafío que supone un plafón teórico y que a la vez se experimenta de modo multidimensional, transversal y polifacético en la vida concreta de las personas. Y las "teologías feministas", al oponerse aguda y punzantemente a las exclusiones en el ejercicio de su carácter profético, se avocan no solo a la deconstrucción de las teologías con sesgo sexista, sino cada vez más a la construcción de alternativas que hagan creíble el evangelio de Jesús y su buena noticia para nuestro tiempo.
