Is it possible that indirection, deception, and ingenuity in service of resistance to dominators is actually moral and sometimes even the most authentically Christian stance? Here theologian Darby Ray suggests turning Christian behaviour from the compliant to the prophetic through “christic imagination.” Ray’s book retrieves a vibrant tradition, “a kind of minority report on who God is and what the Incarnation is all about.” She considers the complex moral lives of those on the margins and, drawing out their ethic of ambiguity, lifts up the ethical import of trickery, cunning, and indirection, sometimes exemplified in children’s stories or in women’s history or in African American trickster traditions like Brer Rabbit.
