In Resisting Occupation, international scholars discuss the radical
denial of human flourishing caused by the occupation of mind, body,
spirit, and land. They explore how religious perspectives can be,
and often are, constructed by occupiers to justify their actions,
perpetuate exploitation, and domesticate indigenous landholders. In
the name of Christianization and civilization, which has proven to
be a global phenomenon beyond time and space, a consistent
domestication process is established. The colonized are taught to
want, to yearn for, and to embrace their occupation, seeing
themselves through the eyes of their colonizers. Writing from
different spots around the globe, the scholars of this book
demonstrate how occupation, a synonym for empire, is manifested
within their social context and reveal unity in their struggle for
liberation. Recognizing that where there is oppression, there is
resistance, the contributors turn to religion. While questioning
the logic, rationale, theology, and epistemology of the empire's
religion, they nonetheless seek the liberative response of
resistance - at times using the very religion of the occupiers.

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.
