| Acknowledging the historical reality that play has often been a privilege reserved for those in power, Lakisha R. Lockhart-Rusch shows how play has nonetheless functioned as a hidden space of agency, healing, and resistance for Black women. Using the game of Double Dutch as an extended metaphor, she demonstrates how a womanist pedagogy of play offers a transformative encounter with the love of self and of God for students from all backgrounds. |
| | | | Praise for Doing Theological Double Dutch |
| "A beautifully textured snapshot of the current state of theology." —The Christian Century |
| "Lockhart-Rusch uses the rich metaphor of Double Dutch jump rope to highlight how the 'tightrope' of hegemonic culture and history can be woven together with the 'second rope' of womanist engagement to facilitate playful, faithful learning that is deeply transformative. . . . We need this book." —Mary Hess, Luther Seminary |
| "Doing Theological Double Dutch clearly establishes Lakisha Lockhart-Rusch as a leading young scholar in the international field of religious education." —Thomas Groome, Boston College |
| | | Lakisha R. Lockhart-Rusch is an ordained minister, womanist play facilitator, and assistant professor of Christian education at Union Presbyterian Seminary. She coedited the book Theopoetics in Color: Embodied Approaches in Theological Discourse and coauthored the facilitator's guide to United Against Racism: Churches for Change. |

| What is theopoetics? Once a field dominated by white liberals in the ivory tower, this embodied form of theology has flourished in the work of a new generation of scholars of color. In this groundbreaking book edited by Oluwatomisin Olayinka Oredein and Lakisha R. Lockhart-Rusch, a diverse team of theologians shows how theopoetics can be practiced "in color."
Scholars and students of theology and the arts will discover inspiring new methodologies and fresh ideas in these pages. |
