_moomin 's review for:
Jesus and the Disinherited
by Howard Thurman
hopeful
inspiring
reflective
relaxing
medium-paced
I read this for a class on the historical Jesus.
Thurman's insights into the life and teachings of Christ and his question of what He said to the disinherited--the landless, the poor, the disenfranchised, the oppressed--captures dimensions of the Christian faith all too often overlooked. Thurman is a wonderful writer: thoughtful, measured but assured, and smooth to read (though not easy!). I recommend for anyone interested in the historical Jesus and how the Christian message remains relevant to those who seek human dignity and self-possession in the face of great adversity.
