In times of rising pressures and catastrophes, people yearn for alternatives. So does the planet. Protests are often a start, but rebellion is not revolution, nor does it always lead to transformation.In this his new book Theology in the Capitalocene, Joerg Rieger takes a new look at the things that cause unease and discomfort in our time, leading to the growing destruction and death of people and the planet. Only when these causes are understood, he argues, can real alternatives be developed.And yet, understanding is only a start. Solidarity, and the willingness to work at the seemingly impossible intersections of everything–the triad of gender, race, and class, yes, but more beyond–must mark the work of theology. Without solidarities that match the complexities of our world, the best we can hope for is inclusion in the dominant system but hardly the systemic change and liberation we so desperately need.The book draws on and develops further Rieger’s extensive record of publication and research as well as the work of the Wendland-Cook Program in Religion and Justice at Vanderbilt University (www.religionandjustice.org).
