520 $a"This book explores both theo-historical complicity and theo-ethical possibilities for compassionate response to HIV & AIDS. It summarizes interpretation from "risk groups and behaviors" to a more nuanced framework of "risk environments." It analyzes body-denying theologies ambiguous about human sexuality and supporting social hierarchies among people groups and creating risk environments systematized through ideologies in the European colonial project in Africa and African America. In order to counter these legacies, this book ends by asserting a constructive theological anthropology for the age of global HIV & AIDS and calls for the embodiment of a communal ethic of "risk-sharing.""--$cProvided by publisher.
