Download or read book Only a Faggot Jesus Can Save Us written by Carlos Osma and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Jesus did not represent each and everyone of us, his salvation, his promised happiness would be a lie. That is why I agree with Carlos. If Jesus did not represent a gay or a lesbian person, if he did not represent a trans or bisexual person and many more, if he is not a woman, a sexual harassment victim, a person with disabilities, then, he is not a Jesus who could save and make us happy. If he excludes even one person, he cannot save anyone. (Dr. Krzysztof Charamsa).And from the start, the title of this book announces to its readers that an extraordinary adventure awaits them: Only a Faggot Jesus Can Save Us. Undoubtedly: the content makes good on this initial warning... What Carlos Osma brings here is innovative in its turn. His particular style and tone address commonly ignored or rarely discussed issues in the theological literature of our time. Therefore, I invite those who want to read this book to be inspired, amazed and encouraged to further reflection on the meaning that the kingdom of God may have for us (Dr. Retano Lings).Carlos Osma holds a degree in both Mathematics and Religious Sciences and a postgraduate in Interreligious Dialogue. For more than ten years he has been writing articles about Christian faith, sexual diversity and gender diversity. These articles have since been translated into many different languages and published in several progressive Christian magazines as well as in his blog: El blog de Carlos Osma (Homoprotestantes). This book is a selection of a number of those publications in which Carlos invites you to leave behind the fundamentalist way of reading the Bible, a way that aims to oppress LGTBIQ people. Carlos encourages you to instead seek for a more liberating interpretation of the Bible.
Download or read book Vernon God Little written by DBC Pierre and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2012-08-07 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If Huckleberry Finn were set on the Mexican-American border and written by the creators of South Park, it might read something like this.” —San Francisco Chronicle Hailed by critics and lauded by readers for its riotously funny and scathing portrayal of America in an age of trial by media, materialism, and violence, Vernon God Little was an international sensation when it was first published in 2003 and awarded the prestigious Man Booker Prize. The memorable portrait of America is seen through the eyes of a wry, young protagonist. Fifteen-year-old Vernon narrates the story with a cynical twang and a four-letter barb for each of his townsfolk, a medley of characters. With a plot involving a school shooting and death-row reality TV shows, Pierre’s effortless prose and dialogue combine to form a novel of postmodern gamesmanship. “A dangerous, smart, ridiculous, and very funny first novel . . . Pierre renders adolescence brilliantly, capturing with seeming effortlessness the bright, contradictory hormone rush of teenage life.” —Sam Sifton, The New York Times

Download or read book The Cross and the Lynching Tree written by James H. Cone and published by Orbis Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark in the conversation about race and religion in America. "They put him to death by hanging him on a tree." Acts 10:39 The cross and the lynching tree are the two most emotionally charged symbols in the history of the African American community. In this powerful new work, theologian James H. Cone explores these symbols and their interconnection in the history and souls of black folk. Both the cross and the lynching tree represent the worst in human beings and at the same time a thirst for life that refuses to let the worst determine our final meaning. While the lynching tree symbolized white power and "black death," the cross symbolizes divine power and "black life" God overcoming the power of sin and death. For African Americans, the image of Jesus, hung on a tree to die, powerfully grounded their faith that God was with them, even in the suffering of the lynching era. In a work that spans social history, theology, and cultural studies, Cone explores the message of the spirituals and the power of the blues; the passion and of Emmet Till and the engaged vision of Martin Luther King, Jr.; he invokes the spirits of Billie Holliday and Langston Hughes, Fannie Lou Hamer and Ida B. Well, and the witness of black artists, writers, preachers, and fighters for justice. And he remembers the victims, especially the 5,000 who perished during the lynching period. Through their witness he contemplates the greatest challenge of any Christian theology to explain how life can be made meaningful in the face of death and injustice.
Download or read book Liturgies from Below written by Claudio Carvalhaes and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s been said that prayer is the vocabulary of faith. This book offers a wealth of resources from forgotten places to help us create a new vocabulary for worship and prayer, one that is located amidst the poor and the major issues of violence and destruction around the world today. It is a collection of prayers, songs, rituals, rites of healing, Eucharistic and baptismal prayers, meditations and art from four continents: Asia-Pacific Islands, Africa, Americas, and Europe. Liturgies from Below is the culmination of a project organized by the Council for World Mission (CWM) during 2018-2019. Approximately 100 people from four continents worked with CWM, collaborating to create indigenous prayers and liturgies expressing their own contexts, for sharing with their communities and the rest of the world. The project was called “Re-Imagining Worship as Acts of Defiance and Alternatives in the Context of Empire”. The author and others spent weeks living in each of four communities for several weeks/months, getting to know the people, and then facilitating the people’s own creation of prayers and liturgies. The author, other scholars, pastors, artists, activists and students all came from radically different ethnicities, races, sexualities, churches and Christian theologies. The people in each location were poor, living in very challenging communities, living in oppressive and seemingly hopeless situations. After some time, they wrote prayers and stories of their experience trying to live the Christian faith in utterly abandoned places. What we have here is an immensely rich and varied collection of liturgical sources from various communities dealing with issues of violence, immigration/refugees, drugs, land grabbing, war on the poor, attack on women, militarization, climate change, and so on.
