Postcolonializing God

Postcolonializing God draws critically on postcolonial theory and practice in a constructive theological exercise. The title deliberately plays on human (constructing `god, i. e. theology) and divine (the God that inspires and acts on postcolonializing activities) action in constructive interplay. Essentially, Emmanuel Lartey argues for new ways of thinking about divine presence and action – and by implication new ways of pastoral and missional practice – inspired by postcolonial reality and critique. Drawing particularly on African and Asian postcolonial experience and thought, the work will be of interest to a wide audience especially in the areas of practical theology, constructive theology, Black theology, Third-World theologies and postmodern theologies.
