Assembling Futures

Assembling Futures is an exceptional theological contribution to dealing with the urgency and intensities of political, economic, and ecological crises, often depicted as apocalyptic. Quigley and Keller do a phenomenal job assembling transdisciplinary analyses and critical reflections by outstanding, dedicated scholars in theology, bible, history, and political science. This work as a collective not only transgresses disciplinary boundaries but also performs how to engage the complexities of entangled catastrophes and struggles and assemble viable futures. This book is a must-read for anyone serious about the role of religion in imagining transformative futures in the present historical moment.---Jin Young Choi, author of Postcolonial Discipleship of Embodiment: An Asian and Asian American Feminist Reading of the Gospel of Mark This fine volume of essays addresses the interweaving of ecological, political and economic crises. Exhibiting interdisciplinary assemblage as a model methodology for studies in religion and theology, it addresses the constitutive dynamics of social life, including religion, by grasping matters in relation, beyond the blinkered perspective of disciplinary silos. These rich and rewarding essays find new ways of thinking and doing political theology.---Philip Goodchild, Professor of Religion and Philosophy, University of Nottingham
