“This remarkable many-faceted volume is a model of the integration of personal experience, theological reflection, and systemic political/cultural analysis. With admirable candor Dillon Cruz reveals the painful challenges he has faced in his life and explores the ways that these experiences have generated novel and life-shaping theological insights. He then applies these theological themes to such pressing contemporary issues as the ecological crisis, racism, religious nationalism, genderism, and militarism. This is an exemplary exercise in theology as it should be done: existential, passionate, historically informed, and socially engaged.”
