  Enfleshing Freedom - Body Race...

  The achievement of our humanity comes about only through immersion in concrete, visceral, embodied relational experience, yet for many human beings, that achievement is stamped by the struggle against oppression in history, society, and religion. In this incisive and important work, distinguished theologian M. Shawn Copeland demonstrates with rare insight and conviction how Black women's historical experience and oppression cast a completely different light on our theological ideas about being human. Copeland argues that race, embodiment, and relations of power reframe not only theological anthropology but also our notions of discipleship, church, Eucharist, and Christ. Enfleshing Freedom is a work of deep moral seriousness, rigorous speculative skill, and sharp theological reasoning. This new edition incorporates recent theological, philosophical, historical, political, and sociological scholarship; engages with current social movements like #BlackLivesMatter and #MeToo; and presents a new chapter on the body.

  Untangling the Sunday School Stories You Learned from the Biblical History You Haven't   
   
  · Biblical archaeologist unearths the riches of the historical and cultural contexts of the Bible 
  · Unveils God's Word as one glorious, world-changing story 
   
  When we first encounter the Bible, we are taught its stories--Adam and Eve, Moses and the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, and more. When a story lacks the details we crave, we fill in the blanks--with what we've seen in movies, read in books, and been told by our Sunday school teachers. But there's a better way to encounter the whole story of Scripture: uncovering and understanding the ancient world and the people who experienced biblical events. 
   
  In Stones Still Speak, Harvard-trained archaeologist and theologian Amanda Hope Haley scrapes back 2,000 years of misguided cultural interpretations to reveal God's Word in its historical, archaeological, and literary contexts. Far from a dry academic exercise, this process explains how our misunderstandings developed and revitalizes the Scripture you thought you knew, with the greater purpose of encouraging a more intentional, rigorous study of the Bible in your daily life.

  Lourdes - The Famous Roman...

  You may have heard of Lourdes, a town in France where millions of people go every year, either as a tourist to take pictures or see what the hype is all about, or real believers who think that the town has a sanctity to it and can somehow cure them, help them, or inspire them through divine means. Whatever the reason for the many visitors is, it is undeniably an interesting historical heritage, something worth exploring. 
  To be precise, Lourdes is a small market town nestled in the Pyrenees' foothills. It is in the Occitanie area of southern France and is a part of the Hautes-Pyrénées department. Prior to the mid-nineteenth century, the town was well-known for the Château fort de Lourdes, a prepared castle set down atop a rocky cliff in the town's heart. 
  Today, I invite you to explore the background and historicity of this town with me, to form your own opinion, and to be open-minded to the story beneath the surface, buried in the past and brought to light in the many narratives the presenters at the site tell. Perhaps you will have the opportunity to visit it sometime yourself, and if or when you do, you will be equipped with more knowledge than the majority of the visitors. Perhaps that way, it will touch you more.
