Beskrivning
Theologies on the Move: Religion, Migration, and Pilgrimage in the World of Neoliberal Capital speaks to the reality that many religions have developed in motion, with people exploring new boundaries, migrating, and being displaced. Consequently, major religious traditions form as they come into contact with other religions and cultures, typically in situations of struggle and pressure. Due to neoliberal capitalism, more people are on the move today than ever before. Most are driven by necessity (migration due to violence, poverty, and perceived poverty); others, by religious quests that are often fueled by experiences of tension (pilgrimage). The chapters in this volume explore the complexity of these situations, examining in detail how theology and religion shape up in various contexts “on the move” and investigating specific problems and tensions in order to suggest solutions, alternatives, and new possibilities.

Recensioner i media

Theologies on the Move is a crucial addition to theological conversations on religion, migration, and pilgrimage in the World of Neoliberal Capital. It has come at the right time when migration is top on the list of the signs of our times. The combination of migration and pilgrimage gives new insight to understanding ancient and modern movement of people from a theological perspective and highlights the World Council of Churches methodology of pilgrimage of Justice and Peace. Its methodological claim of doing theological reflection based on everyday experiences gives authenticity as a contribution to liberation theology. It is a must read for academics, students, religious leaders and policy makers who want to make a difference in understanding and acting for people on the move.
