Theme: Prophetic Rage: Reflecting on Prophetic Witness Today
Monday, November 25th, 2:00PM-3:00PM
The session will feature an Interview with Dr. Johnny Bernard Hill on the release of Prophetic Rage: A Postcolonial Theology of Liberation, in dialogue with leading theologians and activists on the nature of prophetic Christian witness in today’s context. From “Stand Your Ground Laws” to the issue of “mass incarceration,” what does it mean to stand for truth in a post-civil rights, world of imperialism and violence? What does it mean to engage in the task of liberation theology in the age of Obama? Drawing on the history and legacy of black liberation theology and black religious studies across the Diaspora, as well as the broader global liberationist tradition, Jamye Wooten of Kineticscom.com will moderate an open forum on prophetic theology and witness, reflecting on Hill’s constructive theological treatment of liberation and prophetic action today.
KineticsLive.com will be interviewing authors on Monday, November 25th from 2PM – 5PM.
