Remembering Lived Lives is a religious historiography book that focuses on issues and theorists located primarily in Latin America. Instead of joining the chorus of contemporary European intellectuals like Slavoj Zizek, who insist on a renewed Eurocentrism, this study challenges both historians and theologians to take seriously the work done by theorists located in what Enrique Dussel calls the underside of modernity. This is an interdisciplinary work that opens with Karl Barth’s outline for historical-theological study and closes with an analysis of the film The Mission. Written for both the history or theology instructor and student, it deals with subjects like church history, biography as theology, liberation theology as primary source material, photographs, and historical movies.
Michael Jimenez, Ph.D., wrote his dissertation on Karl Barth’s historical lectures on the Enlightenment era in order to analyze the ways the idea of European modernity continues to shape our world. He likes to take an interdisciplinary approach when discussing theological topics, focusing especially on postcolonial theory to look at ways to give a voice to “the Other.”
Mike is the author of two books:
Karl Barth and the Study of the Religious Enlightenment: Encountering the Task of History
and
Remembering Lived Lives: A Historiography from the Underside of Modernity
He and his wife, Lluvia, have two boys, Lucas and Raylan.
