Shared humanity
Focusing on the Mediterranean, Rapisarda’s book offers a theological hermeneutics from the perspective of the margin/border and a theological hermeneutics of the border. At the core is a case study of the Italian Protestant minority and its engagement with issues of migration. Her work offers a 'horizontal' perspective on humanization based on the principle of a shared humanity and proposes a contextual theological reflection on minority identity that is at its core inclusive.
