<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"Paul Tillich is best known today as a theologian of mediation. Many have come to view him as an out-of-date thinker-a safe exemplar of a mid-twentieth-century theological liberalism. The way he has come to be viewed contrasts sharply with the current theological landscape-one dominated by the notion of radicality. In this collection, Russell Re Manning breaks with the widespread opinion of Tillich as 'safe' and dated. Retrieving the Radical Tillich depicts the thinker as a radical theologian, strongly marked but never fully determined by the urgent critical demands of his time. From the crisis of a German cultural and religious life after the First World War, to the new realities of religious pluralism, Tillich's theological responses were always profoundly ambivalent, impure and disruptive, asserts Re Manning. The Tillich that is outlined and analyzed by this collection is never merely correlative. Far from the dominant image of the theologian as a liberal accommodationist, Re Manning reintroduces the troubled and troubling figure of the radical Tillich.

"<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This book will indubitably become a landmark in religious studies and theology. Carvalhaes gathers a superb quality of critical reflections that unveil unexplored roles of liturgy in both the reproduction of global patterns of domination and the resistances against them. This is a must read for scholars and students interested in Postcolonialism, liturgy, religion and society, ethics, theology, and inter-religious conversations." - Santiago Slabodsky, Claremont School of Theology, USA</p> <p>'This pioneering text makes a unique contribution to postcolonial study of liturgy by introducing multi-faith and multicultural perspectives.' - Kwok Pui-lan, Episcopal Divinity School, USA, and author of Postcolonial Imagination and Feminist Theology</p> <p>'Carvalhaes has brought together not just a collection of articles but a community of voices. The authors in this volume challenge all liturgies and rituals, carrying the seeds for a world that moves beyond tokenism to one in which diversity and the 'margins' shape the conversation and bear witness. It's exciting to engage this stimulating conversation!' - Dirk G. Lange, Luther Seminary, USA</p> <p>"The essays within by turns analytic, poetic, prophetic, and constructive show the courage it takes to put into conversation two fields of inquiry that have had relatively little interaction. They experiment, they take risks, and they provoke. This book is an important contribution to an emerging conversation.' - James Farwell, Virginia Theological Seminary, USA</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Corky Alexander, Life Bridges Inc.
