Jesus and the Disinherited

Product Description In this classic theological treatise, the acclaimed theologian and religious leader Howard Thurman (1900–1981) demonstrates how the gospel may be read as a manual of resistance for the poor and disenfranchised. Jesus is a partner in the pain of the oppressed and the example of His life offers a solution to ending the descent into moral nihilism. Hatred does not empower―it decays. Only through self-love and love of one another can God's justice prevail. About the Author Howard Thurman (1899–1981) was a man of penetrating foresight and astonishing charisma.
