This book presents theological, cultural, ecclesial, and hermeneutical explorations from a specific context—Australia. It invites reimagining of theology and hermeneutics against the horizons of indigeneity and sovereignty, contingencies of context, feminist theologies, multiculturalism and intercultural theologies, sexual abuse and ecclesial cover-ups, suicide and worship, tradition(ing)s and betrayal, art and popular cultures, climate effects and climate (in) justice, disability theories, Islamic insights, migration and the images of home, and heaps of contextual matters in between. The chapters are organized into three sections: (1) Roots presents some of the starting points for contextual thinking in Australia and beyond; (2) Wounds attends to the demands of “bodies on the line” upon theological, biblical, and ecclesial engagements; and (3) Shifts pokes at thinkers and critics.

"Settlers" in a culture more than forty thousand years old now engaging their faith traditions may well ask: To whom might we listen? Where might we look? From whom might we learn and why? With whom might we talk? How do we celebrate? How might we grace one another in our life together? Searching for theologies catholic enough to address such questions – and many more, the writers in this collection of essays provoke the willingness to contribute to the regeneration of how the ‘home’ we all share with a multiplicity of other creatures may become richly hospitable to one and all. Much to be done. Begin here!
