Liturgies for Resisting Empire
Seeking Community, Belonging, and Peace in a Dehumanizing World
Book Description
"A thought-provoking look at the intertwining of religion and social control."--Publishers Weekly
Everyone wants to belong. But what does belonging look like in the context of living within an empire and its ideologies?
In Liturgies for Resisting Empire, Cuban American theologian and writer Kat Armas provides a roadmap for Christians seeking a countercultural way of living that prioritizes community and humanity over dominance and power. Armas combines spiritual practices and biblical theology to help us create authentic belonging to God, ourselves, each other, and creation.
This book offers hope for Christians struggling to live faithfully within systems of exploitation and oppression as it
- explains what "empire" is in our modern day;
- gives practical spiritual guidance for resisting empire's daily influence;
- explores how early Christians navigated imperial pressures; and
- offers community-building strategies and help to cultivate spaces of authentic belonging.
Discover a spiritual way of life that you actually want to belong to--one liturgy at a time.
