{"product_id":"touch-of-transcendence-mayra-rivera-9780664230739","title":"Touch of Transcendence: A Postcolonial Theology of God","description":"\u003cp\u003eHow far away is God? How different is God from human beings? This is the theological question of transcendence, and theology has long struggled to find answers that affirm a human relationship with God. In this provocative new work, Mayra Rivera's answer is that God is not within human grasp but is always within human touch. With a strikingly relevant concept of God as transcendent within--transcendence different from the ideas of God as far away, as outside human life and experience, or as above the human plane of existence--Rivera concentrates on transcendence as a relationship and uses it to describe how humans can touch God. In doing so, she engages a number of theological movements, including liberation theology, Radical Orthodoxy, feminism, and postcolonialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mayra Rivera\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0664230733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780664230739\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Westminster John Knox Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.38w x 0.54d","brand":"Mayra Rivera","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981072761087,"sku":"9780664230739","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee0e78e5-d0b4-4e93-89eb-f3a76b09d419.jpg?v=1683253508","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/touch-of-transcendence-mayra-rivera-9780664230739","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
