Description
Jesus and the Disinherited by Howard Thurman This influential theological treatise offers a powerful message of resistance and hope for those who have been marginalized and oppressed. Thurman argues that the gospel can be seen as a manual for challenging injustice and promoting the well-being of the poor and disenfranchised. At its heart, Thurman's work is a call to self-love and love of others, which he believes is essential for achieving true justice and equality. He shows how hatred and despair can lead to moral nihilism, while love and self-love can bring about positive change. A thought-provoking and thoughtfully written book, Jesus and the Disinherited remains a relevant and important work today.
