Towards A Theology on Human Dignity

SimonMary Asese A. Aihiokhai

Religion / Christian Theology / General

In this book, SimonMary Asese A. Aihiokhai articulates a broader way of speaking of the human that goes beyond the Christian notions of Imago Dei. A deliberate attempt is made to deconstruct whiteness and shed light on the many ways this ideology and its praxis lead to dehumanizing tendencies. Unlike many works on racism that explore the issue from a specific geo-political context, this book has a global focus. It sheds light on global play of whiteness within the broader framework of global black studies; global Black women experiences; and interfaith realities. A unique marker of this book is that it is thoroughly interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary in its focus and content. It explores the theme of whiteness using interdisciplinary tools and methods from whiteness studies; cultural studies; decolonial studies; interfaith/comparative studies; philosophy; and theology.

 

SimonMary Asese A. Aihiokhai is Professor of Theology (Systematics) and Religious Studies, and Affiliate Faculty of Ethnic Studies at the University of Portland, USA, and the author of several books, including Fostering Interreligious Encounters in Pluralist Societies: Hospitality and Friendship (Palgrave, 2019).
