Victoria Anne Turner is a Lecturer at Ripon College Cuddesdon"For those who, like me, harboured deep concerns about “the next generation” of theologians, thinkers, scholars and activists, hope is arising, and this book is irrefutable proof. Here are the youthful, new eyes seeing the world and our history “from below”, fresh minds discerning the signs of our times, and invigorated energies plunging themselves courageously into the work that is needed for the dangerous refusal “to let the world remain as it is.” These global voices refuse to be labelled “missing voices” not just because they are speaking out, but because they are speaking out for justice, with commitment, passion and prophetic faithfulness. So that epigraph at the very start is more than mere words – it also a bold declaration, a challenge, and an invitation to join a new generation in the ongoing journey toward justice everywhere. What a joy to be part of this renewed, exciting journey."

'Where does a betrayed generation put its anger? Younger people across the globe justifiably feel that their elders have pared away their options and their hopes - sometimes deliberately, sometimes even well-meaningly. The shrinking horizons of late capitalist culture offer a bleak prospect. These writers acknowledge the anger, name the sense of betrayal, and then begin the hard work of seeing what a constructive, energizing theological perspective can contribute. A unique and challenging collection.'
