{"product_id":"9780334060352","title":"After Pestilence : An Interreligious Theology of the Poor","description":"\u003cp\u003eTheology, according to liberation theologians is only a second step. The first is praxis. A liberating praxis puts the poor and the marginalised at the centre. It is found in the collective response of global religious communities responding to crises – and a global pandemic offers an important case in point, reminding religions of our shared humanity, and the need for interreligious cooperation and understanding to effect a positive response. In the context of seismic socio-economic and political change, religion provides a communal response for feeding the poor, fighting for their rights, and challenging the post-colonial financial model that is now beginning to lose its ground. This book blends an examination of emerging research on the socio-economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in marginalised communities, with the author’s own research on social and poverty isolation in India, and his own experience as told in diaries written whilst in lockdown in a poor district of Santiago, Chile. It challenges majority world churches and religions in a post-pandemic world to learn from each other and from Jesus’ own identification with the outcast, and urges them to take on a way of life and prophetic learning from the world of the poor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SCM Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48671160664299,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":73.24,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780334060352-1.jpg?v=1781615745","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780334060352","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
