In this book leading American Lutheran theologians inspired by the Scandinavian emphasis on theology as embodied practice ask how Christian communities might be mobilized for resistance against systemic injustices. They argue that the challenges we confront today as citizens of the United States as a species in relation to all the other species on the planet and as members of the body of Christ require an imaginative reconceptualization of the inherited tradition. The driving force of each chapter is the commitment to truthtelling in naming the churchampamprsquos complicity with social and political evils and to reorienting the church to the truth of grace that Christianity was created to communicate.
