This book breaks new ground in the field of public theology by
constructing a public theology which is built on interwoven
cultural and Christian values. Writing from the Oceanian context
(Samoa), Ah Siu-Maliko unpacks the complementary Samoan and
Christian core values of service, respect, dialogue, love, and
justice as the foundation for a values-centered response to the
social realities confronting Oceania. Drawing on the indigenous
research paradigm known as talanoa, the author grounds the public
theology that emerges in extensive interviews with 75 Samoans from
all walks of life-the "public" who are the subjects of public
theology. The resulting framework is then applied to a specific
social problem-the crisis of violence against women in Samoa. This
pioneering contribution to public theology discourse opens up
possibilities for similar contextual approaches to public theology
not only across Oceania but around the world.
Provides a unique and compelling examination of crucifixion as a
form of sexual assault, probing ethical questions around this act
unexplored before. Offers fascinating comparative anaylsis of
contemporary forms of state terror and the torture of Jesus which
encourages further discussion and research into a subject which is
often shyed-away from. Fosters a deeper understanding of Jesus'
experience which prompts more constructive ways of reading key
concepts of resurrection and salvation.
Theologians and scholars of religion draw on rich resources to
address the complex issues raised by political reconciliation in
the Middle East, the former Yugoslavia, South Africa, Northern
Ireland and elsewhere. The questions addressed include: Can truth
set a person, or a society, free? How is political forgiveness
possible? Are political, personal, and spiritual reconciliation
essentially related? Explorations in Reconciliation brings
Catholic, Protestant, Mennonite, Jewish and Islamic perspectives
together within a single volume to present some of the most
relevant theological work today. The Open Access version of this

The theme of Resurrection has continued to prove fascinating for a
variety of writers and thinkers, finding expression not only in
sacred texts but in other works of literature and the arts. This
volume contains the papers from one of the Roehampton Institute
London Conferences. In this volume, scholars from a variety of
places and varying academic disciplines have addressed the concept
of resurrection from a number of critical perspectives. As one
might expect, these include analyses of how the resurrection is
understood in the biblical and other religious traditions. Also
included in this volume are sustained treatments of the concept of
resurrection as it appears in various literary texts and other
artistic forms of expression.>
Was the stripping and exposure of Jesus a form of sexual abuse? If
so, why does such a reading of Jesus' suffering matter? The
combined impact of the #MeToo movement and a further wave of global
revelations on church sexual abuse have given renewed significance
to recent work naming Jesus as a victim of sexual abuse. Timely and
provocative "When did we see you naked?" presents the arguments for
reading Christ as an abuse victim, as well as exploring how the
position might be critiqued, and what implications and applications
it might offer to the Church.
This volume on a provocative set of topics presents papers from the
1997 conference on Religion and Sexuality at Roehampton Institute
London. The papers do not confine themselves to contemporary
discussion of the topics concerned, but range widely in their
discourse and discuss this relationship in social, theological and
political contexts.
