Inverse Theology and the Pursuit of Justice

This chapter explores the interplay between theology, Marxism, and the historical legacy of suffering, focusing on the metaphor of a puppet and a dwarf to illustrate the dynamic between materialism and theology. It critiques conventional notions of progress and emphasizes the importance of remembrance in addressing past atrocities, ultimately advocating for a radical rethinking of socio-political systems. Through the lens of inverse theology, the discussion highlights the need to confront uncomfortable historical truths rather than pursuing superficial progress.
