Keri Day erforscht die komplexen Schnittstellen von Rasse, Klasse, Geschlecht und Sexualität mit der amerikanischen Armut und untersucht, wie Glaubensgemeinschaften auf diese drängenden sozialökonomischen Probleme reagieren können. Ihre wissenschaftliche Arbeit befasst sich mit den Wegen, wie Glaube und soziale Gerechtigkeit die amerikanische Realität prägen, und seziert die theologischen und ethischen Dimensionen von Armut und Ungleichheit. Day's Arbeit zielt darauf ab, Gläubige zu inspirieren, sich aktiv an der Bewältigung gesellschaftlicher Herausforderungen zu beteiligen und eine gerechtere Welt zu fördern. Durch ihre aufschlussreiche Analyse gewinnen die Leser ein tiefes Verständnis dafür, wie religiöse Traditionen Wandel und Hoffnung katalysieren können.
Engaging black feminist and womanist religious perspectives alongside Jewish and Christian discourses, this book critiques the moral implications of neoliberalism, which fosters distrust and alienation in society. Keri Day presents six theoretical arguments that challenge the fragmentation caused by global capitalism, advocating for a transformative approach rooted in faith. By envisioning a politics of hope, the work aims to foster connection and community in the face of neoliberal ideals, offering a unique intersectional critique of contemporary economic structures.
On bearing witness to more liberating futures in theological education In Notes of a Native Daughter, Keri Day testifies to structural inequalities and broken promises of inclusion through the eyes of a black woman who experiences herself as both stranger and friend to prevailing models of theological education. Inviting the reader into her religious world--a world that is African American and, more specifically, Afro-Pentecostal--she not only uncovers the colonial impulses of theological education in the United States but also proposes that the lived religious practices and commitments of progressive Afro-Pentecostal communities can help the theological academy decolonize and reenvision multiple futures. Deliberately speaking in the testimonial form--rather than the more conventional mode of philosophical argument--Day bears witness to the truth revealed in her and others' lived experience in a voice that is unapologetically visceral, emotive, demonstrative, and, ultimately, communal. With prophetic insight, she addresses this moment when the fastest growing group of students and teachers are charismatic and neo-Pentecostal people of color for whom theological education is currently a site of both hope and harm. Calling for repentance, she provides a redemptive narrative for moving forward into a diverse future that can be truly liberating only when it allows itself to be formed by its people and the Spirit moving in them.
