But the Jesus of the Gospels is a revolutionary who stands with the sinned against, the wounded, and the marginalized. In \u003ci\u003eJesus of the East\u003c\/i\u003e, author Phuc Luu re-narrates the life of Jesus to show how he made it his work to topple systems that privileged the few and disregarded the many, especially the poor and lowest. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this provocative book, Luu offers a counter-narrative to Western Christianity, which for centuries has legitimized colonization and violence to prop up the powerful at the expense of the masses. Pulling from the tradition of the early Eastern church, the present work of theologians of the oppressed, and Luu's own experiences as a Vietnamese immigrant, \u003ci\u003eJesus of the East \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a transformative vision of healing for the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For those living in the land between pain and hope, Luu's prophetic words will renew our imaginations and draw us closer to the heart of God. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Phuc Luu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1513806718\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781513806716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Herald Press (VA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Phuc Luu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048026009855,"sku":"9781513806716","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bcaef58d-cdd7-49a0-86c7-8bc72858a2b4.jpg?v=1684993470","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jesus-of-the-east-phuc-luu-9781513806716","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
