She then explores what it means to belong to God, not empire, by looking at the ways the early church wrestled with this. Through de- and post-colonial interpretations of Scripture, she examines empires throughout history, offering readers a path toward liberation from systems of exploitation and guidance for building communities that value people over power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArmas gives readers a sense of hope and belonging in their daily lives--belonging to ourselves, God, each other, and the earth--in ways that resist the lies of empire. Each chapter begins with a brief liturgy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kat Armas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1587436493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781587436499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brazos Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Kat Armas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46546146722047,"sku":"9781587436499","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_267a5fb1-518f-4f19-880a-1ed9206baaad.jpg?v=1738184238","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/liturgies-for-resisting-empire-kat-armas-9781587436499","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
