Nickens -- Revelation 12-13: a guerilla reading / Charlene Sinclair -- The Church, the city, and its mission in the twenty-first century : a view from the margins / Elieser Valentin -- A Praxis of integral liberation in a (post) colonial world : a critical and compelling conversation / David Traverzo.
Summary: This volume examines how the manifestation and development of diverse expressions of Christianities in the city offer potentialities and innovative models for the liberation struggles and gospel incarnation within various social, historical, economic, cultural/ethnic, sexual, and gender realities. In the thick of struggling communities in our changing city contexts, this book offers a conceptual and practical map for viewing the complex realities that shape and impact the presence and transformation of Christianities in city life.
