Christianity Now Guide to James Cone on Christianity Now: http://christianity-now.com/introduction-to-james-cone/
by Micah Wimmer “Cone’s work marked a decisive shift within theological circles as no longer could one do theology and consider it an objective pursuit, cloistered in academia, for Cone called all those who reflected upon God and the world to think of promoting the liberation of the oppressed as the primary task of theology.”

Calling all bloggers!
February’s issue is on the theme of Black History Month and we are still accepting contributors.
We currently have articles on mass incarceration, on the importance of black theology for white theology, and on how silence is complicity with oppression.
January Articles now on the site! Christianity-Now.com
We begin in a seemingly divergent space: The bunker. Virilio’s architecture provides an essential insight into Virilio’s Christianity, as it is through the bunker that he discovered architecture.
Check out Jacob Vangeest's article on Paul Virilio and Christianity:
"Virilio doesn’t negate the bunker, but produces an incline—an oblique function—transforming the bunker into a church. The reactionary wall—the bunker—is transformed with the incline, becoming a church where the love of Christ is realized as a struggle within the horror of the world."
The collapse between the conditions of meaning and the conditions of truth is not a failure or deficiency of theology but rather its essential character: for it speaks to and of persons. The Word of God appears to humankind. The Word of God becomes incarnate.
Check out our first Long-form article, articles that are more in-depth and technical than our more common articles, by Tylor Lovins:
"And now we can arrive again at the question about what makes a theological claim true. For the basic situation of humankind is its linguistic situation. And the condition of a true theological statement is its correspondence to the human situation. As we have said that the human situation is the linguistic situation, a theological statement is true to the extent that it makes humanity true: that it grants a freeing word, that it speaks freedom. We are called by that which is outside ourselves, summoned to be and to account for our being: we are called by a freeing word. To go further: it is by the word of God that we are made true, that we are awakened to faith, that we are both condemned to the human situation and yet saved from it. For in obeying the word of God we change our situation, and because we are human, we make true the human situation as sinner before God, saved by the grace of God, when we have faith. God’s word verifies itself by verifying humankind as such: by verifying the situation of humanity as linguistic situation."
Girard maintains that people learn to desire by seeing what other people desire. This leads irrevocably towards competition because it necessarily creates situations in which multiple people desire the same object, which leads to violence because neither desirer is willing to renounce “their claim” upon the object.
Check out our featured article this month by Ben Garrett:
"If we bring back Girard to observe the contemporary church with us, what we see is highly disturbing. We observe all across the nation thousands of homogenous units. Our churches are communities of highly undifferentiated individuals who are encountering little in the way of intellectual or communal diversity in the realm of the sacred.[vii] We have the perfect breeding ground for groups who are capable of producing hundreds of individuals who can easily blame “them” for all the problems of the world. One of the great ironies of our time (perhaps of history) is that it is precisely at the table where Christ broke bread with his betrayer that Christians are huddling together with people who differ from them in almost no meaningful way."
