Reviews

There is no current text that gathers together so many contemporary luminaries to engage in deep thinking about the relationship between religion and the praxis of justice. Religion, Protest, and Social Upheaval represents some of the most profound and compelling voices in contemporary theology and religious studies to reflect on some of the day's most urgent social issues. Each of these essays is a tremendous contribution in its own right, but as a collection they fuse breadth and depth in compelling harmony. If recent years have witnessed an acceleration of collective consciousness about the persistent fusion between religion and contemporary movements, this anthology excavates theologies underpinning contemporary structures of both oppression and liberation.---Jack Lee Downey, John Henry Newman Professor in Roman Catholic Studies, University of Rochester.
