520 |a In this searing and personal book, Robyn Henderson-Espinoza bridges the gap between academia and activism, bringing the wisdom of the streets to the work of scholarship, all for the sake of marginalized communities. This interdisciplinary work draws on continental philosophy, queer theology, and critical class theory in accessible and artful ways that explain the project of activist theology. It breaks new ground and summons all to radical acts of labor to build bridges with difference. 
520 |a "Activist Theology is a call to action. It invites academics to the concrete work of activism, bringing the wisdom of the streets to bear on the tasks of theology. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza shows readers how action and contemplation can be brought together for the sake of political liberation and social change. Featuring the poetry of Brittini 'Ree Belle' Gray, this rich and interdisciplinary work draws on continental philosophy, queer theology, and critical class theory in accessible and artful ways. It employs story, personal narratives, and cultural analysis to explain the methods, sources, and objectives of activist theology. Activist Theology is essential reading for all who want to see theology and ethics break new ground in working for justice, hope, and liberation for all." --  |c Provided by publisher.
