Doing theology requires dissension and tenacity. Dissension is
required when scriptural texts, and the colonial bodies and
traditions (read: Babylon) that capitalize upon those, inhibit or
prohibit "rising to life." With "nerves" to dissent, the attentions
of the first cluster of essays extend to scriptures and theologies,
to borders and native peoples. The title for the first cluster -
"talking back with nerves, against Babylon" - appeals to the spirit
of feminist (to talk back against patriarchy) and RastafarI (to
chant down Babylon) critics. The essays in the second cluster -
titled "persevering with tenacity, through shitstems" - testify
that perseverance is possible, and it requires tenacity. Tenacity
is required so that the oppressive systems of Babylon do not have
the final word. These two clusters are framed by two chapters that
set the tone and push back at the usual business of doing theology,
inviting engagement with the wisdom and nerves of artists and
poets, and two closing chapters that open up the conversation for
further dissension and tenacity. Doing theology with dissension and
tenacity is unending.
