A Life in Writings: 2017-2019 (The Collected Writings of Jeff Hood)

By Jeff Hood

A Life in Writings 2017-2019 collects the raw, unfiltered theological reflections, sermons, protest statements, and spiritual meditations of Rev. Dr. Jeff Hood - activist, abolitionist, and prophetic voice in contemporary Christianity.

From eulogies at the scene of police shootings to meditations on the Transgender Christ in Chelsea Manning, from furious condemnations of Confederate monuments and gun culture to tender encounters with the marginalized, these pieces refuse easy piety. Hood confronts white supremacy, state violence, border cruelty, mass incarceration, and the idolatry of nationalism with the fierce love of a Jesus who stands with the oppressed.

Written in the heat of Dallas-Fort Worth activism, during the rise of Black Lives Matter protests, the Trump presidency, and waves of police killings, this collection captures a theology born in the streets: one that declares God is found in the revolting, the imprisoned, the undocumented, the executed, and the silenced.

Blending personal vulnerability, scriptural fire, and uncompromising calls to embodied resistance, A Life in Writings 2017-2019 challenges readers to leave sanitized faith behind and meet the living Christ among the crucified of our time.
