Doing Theology with Cultural Studies: Rewriting History, Reimagining Salvation, Decolonizing Theology

Noting that Christianity has been used not only in service of liberation but also for the purpose of oppression, she embarked upon a reimagination of how Christian theology can escape a very particular temptation, particularly when theology is interwoven with political power and influence.
