Dissension and Tenacity: Doing Theology with Nerves

Dissension is required when scriptural texts, and the colonial bodies and traditions (read: Babylon) that capitalize upon those, inhibit or prohibit ＂rising to life.＂ The contributors in this book challenge the way Christian theology is currently done in the academy and the Western world.
