The Insurgency of the Spirit taps mutli-disciplinary methodologies
of post-colonial biblical scholarship and anthropology, liberation
theologies, indigenous studies, grief/trauma research, and
nature-meditation writings to shape a constructive retrieval of the
animist Jesus. The vision that emerges is one that sets forward an
Earth-loving Jesus who challenges r Christians in particular to
mobilize against the destructive relationship that exists between
imperial religion and political systems. The author offers a
constructive understanding of the Spirit and animist spirituality,
which ground the portrait of the Earth-loving Jesus. Jesus' animist
experiences provide the foundation for God's kin-dom where the
non-violent inherit the land as divine gift and live a wilderness
gift economy of mutual reciprocity. Jesus' animist liberation
spirituality promoted resistance against empire, and he suffered a
horrific death that traumatized his followers. Jesus' female
followers in their grieving rites empowered a resilient dangerous
memory to empower resistance to empire. They modeled the transition
from grief to empowered resistance. This provides crucial
contemporary spiritual and ethical resources for facing
environmental grief to generate resilience for direct action and
restoration of the environment. Recovery of the Earth-loving Jesus
uncovers for Christians a path to undoing imperial Christianity's
escapist spirituality that allows harmful exploitation of the
planet and ecocide.
