Author Ivan Walters theorizes the causes of social injustice and oppression of marginalized peoples as found in the law and Christian theology in both modern and post-modern cultural politics. He advances a theory of redemption through a transgressive discourse that challenges most of the traditional assumptions of Eurocentric Christianity and jurisprudence. Walters sees law and religion as two powerful, politico-cultural institutions that must be kept in check in order to protect the rights of those who are marginalized by the society. History reveals a litany of horrors that have been perpetrated on marginalized peoples by both religious bigotry and the law. Through theological and jurisprudential theoretical inquiries, Walters advocates a thesis of \u003ci\u003eat-one-ment\u003c\/i\u003e through the historical Christus instead of the Christianity's bastardized version of the Christus. His thesis then is grounded in a theory of challenge and resistance to oppression and the advocacy of the possibilities for redemption from oppression. \u003ci\u003eNo Sacred Place\u003c\/i\u003e challenges the church in particular and society in general to create a new social order and right the wrongs of the current system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ivan Hugh Walters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1462048838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781462048830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.10d","brand":"Ivan Hugh Walters","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439254221055,"sku":"9781462048830","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c3b988e-2abf-41da-b06d-77b175a69aea.jpg?v=1777176443","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/no-sacred-place-ivan-hugh-walters-9781462048830","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
