Like free books? Good, because Syndicate Theology is giving away a copy of Willie James Jennings The Christian Imagination: Theology and the Origins of Race. All you need to do for a chance to win is post and/or tweet #SyndJennings (and wed strongly suggest reading Jennings exchange with Peter Goodwin Heltzel here: ow.ly/zqONy). From Heltzels Syndicate essay Cross the Sea and Cleanse the Temple: In The Christian Imagination Willie James Jennings lays out a persuasive case detailing the racist and capitalist underpinnings of colonial Christianity in Portugal, Peru, South Africa, and the United States, showing how this colonial legacy continues to dominate the establishment agenda of the theological academy. Despite these realities, he further argues that the Christian imagination can be fired once again if the church can reconnect to Israel, creation, and the Creator. His call to theological intimacy amidst a world of cultural fragmentation is prophetic, hearkening a post-colonial future for the world Christian communion.
