Jesus and the Disinherited by Vincent Harding, Howard Thurman

5.0

---

As relevant today as it was when it was first published, revisiting Thurmond’s ideas is at once refreshing and disheartening (when, for instance, he points out how separate congregations for the disinherited- Blacks, Latinos, Koreans- also keep barriers in place that ensure the groups don’t experience the love that comes out of shared communal time in worship). Read this as part of a Lenten study in our predominantly white congregation and it seemed to inspire new insights into the Black experience- highly recommend.
