Beschreibung

"A thought-provoking look at the intertwining of religion and social control."--Publishers Weekly 
 
● Explains what "empire" is in our modern day 
● Gives practical spiritual guidance for resisting empire's daily influence 
● Explores how early Christians navigated imperial pressures 
● Unpacks how empire influences how we see ourselves and others 
 
Everyone wants to belong. 
 
What does true belonging look like when the society you live in is not something you want to "belong" to? 
 
In Liturgies for Resisting Empire, Cuban American theologian and writer Kat Armas provides a roadmap for Christians seeking a countercultural way of living that prioritizes community and humanity over dominance and power. 
 
Armas combines spiritual practices and biblical theology to help us create authentic belonging to God, ourselves, each other, and creation. She begins by examining how empire affects us daily through its pervasive ideologies and systems of control. Drawing from decolonial and postcolonial biblical interpretation, she explores how the New Testament church resisted Roman imperial power while building communities centered on God's kingdom values rather than worldly dominance. 
 
This book offers hope for Christians struggling to live faithfully within systems of exploitation and oppression. Armas provides practical spiritual disciplines, community-building strategies, and theological frameworks that empower readers to resist empire's dehumanizing effects while cultivating spaces of authentic belonging and liberation. 
 
Discover a spiritual way of life that you actually want to belong to--one liturgy at a time.

    Reckoning with History confronts the histories of settler colonialism and slavery and illumines how these two devastating realities informed and ultimately deformed Protestant Christianity in the North American colonies and antebellum United States. 
     
     
     
    This book explains how Christians engaged the sinful realities of Indigenous land dispossession and Black enslavement, shaping American Christianity in distinctive and enduring ways. It further underscores how white Christians justified land theft and racial oppression against Indigenous and Black persons with scriptural interpretations and theological expositions that remade Christianity into an American religion that bolstered economic, political, and social interests. Along the way, Yoo also features inspiring accounts of resistance to the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the westward expansion of slavery. A final chapter draws lessons from these histories for the possibilities of what ministries of racial justice could be in American churches today. Yoo integrates cogent historical analysis with contemporary lessons for Christians that make Reckoning with History a definitive resource for understanding racism and pursuing racial justice in the United States.

    As the events of our day unfold, all around the world, questions plague the minds of observers in all walks of life.  The biggest question of all is, how will it all end?  Are we headed for a Bible-styled Apocalypse and Armageddon?With these and similar concerns in mind, the purpose of this book is provide a glimpse of what the future of our world looks like, from a biblical point of view.  While fictious on the one hand, it is no less Bible-based, and keyed to (more or less), or, rooted in 3 commentaries  written by Mr. Alvin Mitchell, namely 1) Judgment Day, Volume 1, Prelude to Armageddon:  The United States of America in Bible   Prophecy, 2) Judgment Day, Volume 2, Prelude to Armageddon:  Israel Catapulted to Global Superpower, 3) Judgment Day, Volume 3, God verses God's of Earth.  Thus, combined, these works answer (and this screenplay portrays) the question of the future of the United States of America, the plight of the nation of Israel and, the future plight of a world void of U. S. "hegemony" and influence.

    Darcy St. James returns to Alaska to join a journalist friend undercover on the trail of a big story. But when Darcy arrives, she finds her friend has disappeared. Troubled by the cruise ship's vague explanation, Darcy uses her cover as a travel reporter to investigate further.  
     
    The last person Gage McKenna expects to see during his summer aboard a cruise ship leading adventure excursions is Darcy. And in typical Darcy fashion, she's digging up more trouble.  
     
    He'd love to just forget her--but something won't let him. And he can't help but worry about her as they are heading into more remote regions of Alaska and eventually into foreign waters.

    Read by the author. 
    The Bible is one story told through dozens of people over thousands of years. As Christians, we know we're supposed to believe this - and so we do. But when we pick up our Bibles, if we're honest, we sometimes lose the thread, especially with some of the strange and obscure happenings in Genesis. 
    We can't help but wonder, What's this all about?! 
    Who - or what - are the Nephilim? What about this mysterious Melchizedek who seems to appear out of nowhere? Why are there so many genealogies? Why do Abraham and a Hittite haggle for so long about the price of a rinky-dink cave? Hang on, are we supposed to be comfortable with Abraham sacrificing his son? Or with Lot's, um, unseemly family dynamics? Or with Jacob's multiple wives? Why do the book's heroes so often act like villains? 
    And, of course, what does all this have to with Jesus and the gospel? 
    Careful readers of the Bible have many questions about Genesis. In From Eden to Egypt, Alex Duke will give everyday Christians a guided tour of these wonderful stories so that they'll see - perhaps for the first time - that it's all there for a reason. 
    Appendixes can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.
