"A thought-provoking look at the intertwining of religion and social control."--Publishers Weekly

● Explains what "empire" is in our modern day
● Gives practical spiritual guidance for resisting empire's daily influence
● Explores how early Christians navigated imperial pressures
● Unpacks how empire influences how we see ourselves and others

Everyone wants to belong.

What does true belonging look like when the society you live in is not something you want to "belong" to?

In Liturgies for Resisting Empire, Cuban American theologian and writer Kat Armas provides a roadmap for Christians seeking a countercultural way of living that prioritizes community and humanity over dominance and power.

Armas combines spiritual practices and biblical theology to help us create authentic belonging to God, ourselves, each other, and creation. She begins by examining how empire affects us daily through its pervasive ideologies and systems of control. Drawing from decolonial and postcolonial biblical interpretation, she explores how the New Testament church resisted Roman imperial power while building communities centered on God's kingdom values rather than worldly dominance.

This book offers hope for Christians struggling to live faithfully within systems of exploitation and oppression. Armas provides practical spiritual disciplines, community-building strategies, and theological frameworks that empower readers to resist empire's dehumanizing effects while cultivating spaces of authentic belonging and liberation.

Discover a spiritual way of life that you actually want to belong to--one liturgy at a time.
