This sweeping new anthology shows how religion has joined with and
learned from movements for social justice, peace, and ecological
wisdom. Liberating Faith surveys the entire range of religious
social activism: from liberation theology and feminist religion to
ecotheology and peace activism. It includes theology, social
critique, position papers, denominational statements, manifestos,
rituals, prayers, biographical accounts, and journalistic
descriptions of real world struggles, beginning with a survey of
ethical teachings from traditional sources. Following sections deal
with "precursor" voices before the 20th century, Gandhi's exemplary
vision, overviews of the connections between religion, society, and
political movements, and impassioned accounts of particular issues.
Containing voices from a multitude of traditions, national
settings, and perspectives. Liberating Faith includes writings by
Latin American liberation theologians and radical American
religious activists, statements on social justice by the Pope and
environmental morality by the Eastern Orthodox Patriarch, religious
critiques of collective and interpersonal violence, passionate
denunciations of racism and quiet eloquence which demands that we
all stand up for morality in dark times. Among the more than eighty
authors are Thomas Berry, Thich Nhat Hanh, Abraham Heschel, Martin
Luther King, Winona Laduke, Michael Lerner, Thomas Merton, Henri
Nouwen, Judith Plaskow, Rosemary Ruether, and Vandana Shiva. An
invaluable teaching resource and the definitive introduction to
global religious social activism, this book offers a visionary
alternative to both repressive fundamentalism and spiritless
secularism.
