Description

Theologians ""on the margins"" reflect how their experience of ethnic and racial minority has influenced their theology and how this relates to the ""American Dream."" ""This book works like a most welcome midwife for the 21st century, birthing 'America' and 'theology' from lives that are African-American, Asian-American, Latino/a, and more. You thought you knew what 'America' and 'theology' were. Think again, and welcome the gift of this new book "" --Mark Taylor, Princeton Theological Seminary ""This book shows the future of North American theology--and it not only works but thrives."" --David Tracy, University of Chicago Divinity School ""The collective voice of A Dream Unfinished is the voice of the 21st century asking, 'Why are we always only given two choices? Why just margin or center, white or nonwhite, rich or poor; why always just one or the other?' And that leads to the most liberating question of all: 'Who set things up this way?' What an enormous help this book is."" --Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite, Chicago Theological Seminary Eleazar S.
