Ties That Bind Summary

Ties That Bind: African American and Hispanic American/Latino/a Theologies in Dialogue by Anthony B. Pinn (Rice University, USA)

Five African-American and five Hispanic/Latino(a) theologians here explore their common historical and cultural heritage and their similar chronicle of struggle and affirmation. The aim is to develop overarching meaning systems that encourage and sustain holistic imagination, notions of self and communal integrity, social activism and solidarity. Among the topics treated are the core themes, concerns and historical development of these two theologies; the roles played by scripture, tradition, imagination and individual and collective experience; popular religion; Womanist and Mujerista theologies; ways of dealing with pain, suffering and subjugation; and strategies for building bridges between communities of struggle.

Ties That Bind Reviews

The Ties That Bind offers [...] evidence of the flourishing of contextual reflection as a mainstream theological approach. Grounded in the lived experience of their respective communities, the essays here do much to undermine those whose idealistic and homogenized representations of the sensus fidelium ignores the reality of Christian diversity and pluriform patterns of discipleship. --Reviews in Religion and Theology 9.2 (April 2002)
The articles in this book are written by an impressive list of African American and Hispanic/Latino/a scholars from across the United States. The real strength of this book is in the effective ways it serves to inform and stimulate the reader's own reflection on strategies for understanding and meeting the challenges of genuine dialogue for the task of building solidarity. --Rev. Sheryl A. Kujawa, The Living Church, March 17, 2002
The work is a welcome effort to bring the two largest 'minorities' in US Christianity into a shared discourse that is increasingly critical for the development of ways in which these and other faith-based communities can work together. This is a welcome text for courses in US liberation theology, especially on the graduate level. --Theological Studies, September 2002
This volume is an excellent example of much-needed ecumenical, cross-cultural dialogue as well as a recommendable text for courses in contextual theology. --John T. Ford, Religious Studies Review, January 2003
