Mujerista Theology is a comprehensive introduction to Hispanic
feminist theology written from the heart and the convictions of
experience. Continually drawing on her Cuban roots, Isasi-Diaz
focuses on the life journeys and struggles of Hispanic women as she
develops a theology to support and empower their daily struggles
for meaning. With her own life journey always firmly connected to
the grassroots experience of Hispanic women and to the struggle for
liberation, Isasi-Diaz is a major spokesperson for the continuing
need for liberation theology today. The first part of Mujerista
Theology describes the experience of self-discovery: what it is
like to live in a foreign land as the oppressed "other". The second
part focuses on the methodology of doing mujerista theology and its
major themes: solidarity, empowerment, anthropology, encountering
God, and liturgy and rituals.
Contributors to this volume assess the meaning of globalization and
the capacity of Catholic social thought to understand, reform, and
guide it.
What does Keynes have to do with Qohelet? At first sight, economy
and theology seem to be disciplines with mutually exclusive
objectives. Yet, as the Covid crisis has recently shown, if
economic development is to really stand a chance of success, it
should go hand in hand with relational values like honesty,
reliability and empathy: this will contribute to a society with a
culture of reciprocity, respect, love and trust. In this essay,
Paul van Geest pleads for a renewal of the old ties between
economics and theology as scientific disciplines, so as to arrive
at a deeper and richer anthropological fundament for economic
research.
