The first Christians lived out a new social order and envisaged the
world anew. Divisions, inequalities and injustices would be
overturned as the world would reflect a new kind of reign. In the
Kingdom of God, the powerful are brought low, while the oppressed
are raised up; the hungry are filled with good things, while the
rich are sent empty away; the wolf lives with the lamb, and the
leopard lies down with the goat; the slave becomes the son, the
master is the servant of all and the meek will inherit the earth.
This same upside-down Kingdom is echoed in the Carnival festivals
of the Medieval era, which both parodied the oppressive structures
of their day and dramatically portrayed an alternative reality. In
this book, twelve scholars, theologians, and social activists from
around the world take up the Carnival's call for justice and a
renewed society, and portray in their own contexts the Kingdom of
God coming in justice and fullness of life - the coming of the
Carnival Kingdom."
