Book Description
From police violence to mass incarceration, from environmental racism to micro-aggressions, the moral gravity of anti-black racism is attracting broad attention. How do Christian ideas, practices, and institutions contribute to today's struggle for racial justice? And how do they need to be reimagined in light of the challenges to white supremacy posed by today's movements for racial justice? With contributions by leading experts such as Katie Grimes, Steven Battin, Santiago Slabodsky, M. Shawn Copeland, Kelly Brown Douglas, Elias Ortega-Aponte, Ashon Crawley, Eboni Marshall Turman, and Bryan Massingale, this collection speaks to scholars, students, activists, and Christians of all races who believe that black lives matter. --

Fugitive Saints

Pages : 203
Book Description
How should the Catholic church remember the sins of its saints? This question proves particularly urgent in the case of those saints who were canonized due to their relation to black slavery. Today, many of their racial virtues seem like racial vices. In this way, the church celebrates Peter Claver, a seventeenth-century Spanish missionary to Colombia, as “the saint of the slave trade,” and extols Martín de Porres as the patron saint of mixed race people. But in truth, their sainthoods have upheld anti-blackness much more than they have undermined it. Habituated by anti-blackness, the church has struggled to perceive racial holiness accurately. In the ongoing cause to canonize Pierre Toussaint, a Haitian-born former slave, the church continues to enact these bad racial habits. This book proposes black fugitivity, as both a historical practice and an interpretive principle, to be a strategy by which the church can build new hagiographical habits. Rather than searching inside itself for racial heroes, the church should learn to celebrate those black fugitives who sought refuge outside of it.

Book Description
Have you ever been really thirsty? Like when the afternoon fun at the lake ends, or the ninth inning brings a well-earned win! Nothing can beat an icy glass of chilly water sloshing down our dry and dusty throats to quench a well-earned thirst. While that cold water satisfies the demands of our physical body, are we merely bodies requiring water? Or, are we more than that? What quenches the thirst in our soul and spirit, those innermost parts of us that can’t be touched by human hands? How are they nurtured? In a conversation with a Samaritan woman, Jesus told of a “living water” that, if she would drink of this water she would never be thirsty again. (John 4:10-15) He was, of course, referring to “spiritual” water. That is the only kind of water that will quench a thirsty spirit. Inside this book you will find 93 drinks of “living water”. Some will make you smile, some will make you think, but all will draw you to Jesus, the One who was raised from the dead, lives today, and wants to get to know you!
