Liturgies for Resisting Empire

Seeking Community, Belonging, and Peace in a Dehumanizing World
A Cuban American writer breaks down the images and idols of empire, showing how the early Christians, and readers today, can resist the lies of empire by building communities of belonging and liberation.
"A thought-provoking look at the intertwining of religion and social control."--Publishers Weekly
