15.Rise Up and Stir: Doing Theology in Public Spaces



Michael N. Jagessar


Theologies that discern and radically engage (DARE) life will trouble traditional theological positions, perspectives, and biases. This book is a valuable resource for discerning and radical theologies. I appreciate the space it gives to Dalit bodies, wisdom, and visions to radicalize the doing of (public) theologies.

— Monica Jyotsna Melanchthon, Pilgrim Theological College, University of Divinity (Australia)



The shift in the geographic centre of gravity in global Christianity is also leading towards a shift in where academic centres of excellence in doing theology are located. This series ‘Theology in the Age of Empire’, and this volume in particular, signal such a shift and thus trouble Eurocentric perceptions in ‘mainstream’ public theology. It questions long-standing distinctions between mission and the missioned, uncovering and recovering the Bible, bodies and land, art and technology, resistance and softness, beginnings and endings. Remarkably, it does so through a sense of humor and celebration.

— Ernst M. Conradie, University of the Western Cape (South Africa)
