You can now pre-order my new book, Intersectional Theology: An Introductory Guide co-written with Dr. Susan Shaw.

Preaching God’s Transforming Justice: Year A is now available. I have a short piece in this volume. It is a valuable book for preachers, students and lay. Check it out on amazon.
“This is the final volume in a unique new commentary series that helps the preacher identify and reflect on the social implications of the biblical readings in the Revised Common Lectionary. The essays concentrate on the themes of social justice in the weekly texts and how those themes can be teachable moments for preaching social justice in the church. Continue reading

This is my column for EthicsDaily.com to celebrate Earth Day (April 22, 2013).
Editor’s Note: The following is an excerpt from Grace Ji-Sun Kim’s book “Colonialism, Han and the Transformative Spirit.” Another excerpt appeared previously.
Contrary to our personal belief, it appears that money has little effect on happiness. Rather, conspicuous Continue reading

This is a repost of Chris Hedges’ original Op-Ed for Truthout. It was originally posted on Feb 28, 2012 and is reposted here with permission.
