{"product_id":"interruption-and-imagination-kjetil-fretheim-9781498298681","title":"Interruption and Imagination","description":"As we are faced with recurring crises--financial, migration, climate, etc.--there is a need to reconsider public theology as both a practice and a field of study. By discussing public statements made by Christians faced with different kinds of crisis, this book contributes to the development and understanding of public theology. The public statements addressed are three kairos documents: The Kairos Document from South Africa in the mid-1980s; The Road to Damascus document from authors in developing countries, issued in 1989; and the Palestinian Kairos Document from 2009. The discussion is structured around three problems of public theology: social analysis, politics and ethics, and language and voice. Fretheim suggests a constructionist understanding of public theology--a public theology that interrupts current debates and expands the imagination of the public sphere. As public theology is concerned with public life and social issues, Interruption and Imagination will be of interest to scholars and students of theology, political science, sociology, and religious studies, as well as practitioners, policymakers, and professionals in the public sector, civil society, churches, and Christian organizations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kjetil Fretheim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498298680\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498298681\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pickwick Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Kjetil Fretheim","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44756731068671,"sku":"9781498298681","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_328ed13f-d9f8-4c24-b7f2-fe242b76f1b9.jpg?v=1706593712","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/interruption-and-imagination-kjetil-fretheim-9781498298681","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
