Mission is contrived from and performed over lived contexts, but
the visions that guide and drive mission are oftentimes blinded by
power, position, protection, and plenitude. This collection visits
those matters with queering attention to the shadows empires cast
over the contexts of mission, and to the collusion and complicity
of Christians and churches with empires past (as in the case of
Rome) and present (as in the case of the United States of America).
In the interests of those in mission fields who survived, but
continue to agonize under the burdens of empires, the contributors
to this work dare to re-vision the course and cause of mission.
Writing from minoritized settings in Africa, Asia, the Americas,
and Oceania, the authors interweave the principles and practices of
mission with the opportunities in decolonial theology and
hermeneutics, minoritized and migrant Christologies, repatriation
and the courage to get up and get out, indigenous insights and
wisdom, mission archives, stories of resistance and endurance in
zones of contact and violence, restless souls and returning
spirits, and life-centered spiritual (en)countering. In Mission and
Context as with previous volumes in this series-empires do not have
the final word, nor the final world.
Theologies, no matter their designations, are public measures -
they disclose as well as gauge the publics (near and far) on which
they stand, sit, lie, or fall. Because publics shift and mingle,
theologies require reimagining and relocating, and embracing fresh
insights and energies. The insights and energies embraced in this
work are in three clusters: spaces, bodies, technologies. The
spotlighted spaces are in Africa, Asia, Black America, Caribbean,
and Pasifika - beyond the eyes of mainline theologies; the
privileged bodies have survived, with scars from, empire and
missionary positionings; and the welcomed technologies include
Dalit, indigenous, art, poetry, cyborg, and the novel. This
collection is troubling in several ways: first, reimagining and
relocating are troubling acts upon their subject matter - here,
public theologies. On that note, what theology is not public?
Second, this work takes theologies in general, and not just the
theologies that carry the "public" designation, to be public
theologies. Third, this work takes theologies (in general) to be
inherently troubling. In other words, theologies that are not
troubling are not public enough.
