Produktbeschreibung
The people of the Antilles (Caribbean) have historically been surrounded by the rages and surges of changing winds, and the transforming effects of forces and faith-forms of alienating powers. Their struggles to survive in the face of heavily countervailing systems, structures, and strengths have constantly been marked by their determination to rely on their spiritual, cultural, communal, and creative skills and imaginations. These struggles have often driven them to scramble relentlessly with questions of fate, facts, faith, and the future. Where (how) is God in the mix of these Antillean experiences? What meanings do these Antillean winds portend? God-questions abound at home and abroad, with changing winds of fortune and undulating circumstances. This book brings together an anthology of contemporary topics, historical reflections, and theological explorations that will invite readers into an ongoing dialogue towards the rediscovery of the Caribbean (Antillean) sources of light, life, and liberation.
