Caribbean Contextual Theology Summary

Caribbean Contextual Theology: An Introduction by Carlton Turner

Caribbean Contextual Theology introduces readers to the robust theological conversations taking place in the Caribbean region since the early 1970s, and the regions key theologians and texts. Attempting to bring a contextual theological gaze to what is a fascinating and often understated context, it offers readers an introduction to the unique and important contribution that a Caribbean theological lens can bring to the broader theological landscape.

Caribbean Contextual Theology Reviews

"Caribbean Theology has long been the radical, decolonial, resistance hermeneutic that has defined the intent of a people to be free of the machinations of colonialism. This important new book by Carlton Turner represents the latest iteration of Caribbean Theology. It offers a bold and imaginative restatement for the necessity for a liberationist theological project committed to the freeing of poor and marginalised peoples." -- Prof Anthony Reddie
"Engaging in theological reflection on the experiences of Caribbean people is a special responsibility of Caribbean theologians. I congratulate Dr.Turner for engaging in this task and producing a book that will certainly make a significant contribution to the Caribbean theological project. His theological insights into Caribbean expressions of faith and hope has enabled him to produce a work that will be a valuable resource for persons engaging in theological reflection in a Caribbean context. I highly commend this work to persons in the Caribbean and beyond who have an interest in understanding the connection between faith and experience that has shaped the people of the Caribbean." -- The Most Rev'd Dr John Holder
provides for the reader a comprehensive panoply of themes, issues, challenges, and imaginative ideas that clearly emerge from any serious study and reflection on contextuality in the Caribbean. His summary review of the Caribbeans geo-political history and identity is reinforced by extensive reflections on earlier reviews and socio-theological assertions of an older generation of Caribbean theologians I genuinely recommend this volume -- Kortright Davis
"This introductory textbook for Caribbean theology, written from the perspective of an Anglican, African-descended, Anglophone, Diaspora ordained minister-academic, is an exciting, critical read. It is written in a friendly style shaped by preaching, poetry and a bit of the prophetic. Not to be missed is the challenging of traditional theologies that eschew the contextual, leading to life and death experiences for the complex circumstances of Caribbean civilization. Pay keen attention to Turners overview of Nannyish Sass as he traces the outlines of Caribbean womanist reflections on gender, sexuality, and the body. Lament with him as Jordan Rolls around Caribbean hymnodic traditions and musicality, which frame and (re)claim salvation for Land, Sea and People. Busy academics, undergraduate students, curious enquirers and the like will find this a valuable read." -- Anna Kasafi Perkins,
"...brings a refreshing twenty first century addition to the canon of theological reflections generated from the region. Turners book is a good entry point for those new to the discourse, building as he does on the foundations of those who went before, as well as being a place for those further in the journey to explore more contemporaneous issues, including foregrounding the sisterhood's contributions. The whole world has found a home in the Caribbean, collaborating, contending and commingling their beliefs and practices in ways that make a study of Caribbean theology an intellectual pepper pot of stimulating ideas. Turner has lived up to the challenge of writing an exciting and challenging work. Read it!" -- Rachele (Evie) Vernon OBrien
