Interesting alternative interpretation of Biblical parables using a social justice lens
An interesting alternative interpretation of Biblical parables using a social justice lens. Although he uses academic content the book is easy to read for a layperson. Because traditional "Christian" concepts have had such a strong influence on and Western civilization this alternative point of view leads to important questions about how a different interpretation might have impacted our society.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
