Theo-Biblical Reflections on Important Issues from the Margins: Black Lives Matter, Incarceration, & Resistance to Empire (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578594088)

The members of the Cutting-Edge Clergy Caucus of Birmingham, AL recognize the need to inject a fresh voice and different analysis to the national discussion on religion, race, poverty, and inequalities facing people in the margins. This book serves an introduction to those who are looking for an unconventional and compromised interpretation of the biblical text as it applies to those who live in the margins. Theo-Biblical Reflection on Important Issues from the Margins: Black Lives Matter, Incarceration, & Resistance to Empire has been written by ministry practitioners who pastor and work in the margins with those who have been forgotten, abandoned, and purposely ignored by societal power brokers at the local, state, and nation levels.By releasing Theo-Biblical Biblical Reflections on Important Issues from the Margins: Black Lives Matter, Incarceration, & Resistance to Empire into the public sphere, the book begs the question to those who claim to follow Christ, what are you doing to make manifest the Kingdom of God in the margins of society? This work is designed to invoke discussion and transformation. In an age when white supremacy is publicized from the White House to the Church House a resistance must be promoted. In the vein of the eighth century prophets, resistance voices during the antebellum period, and modern prophets, Billingsley, Clark and Anderson serve as voice of change in this post modern society. This book rises to the occasion by speaking truth to power with a Cutting-Edge precision. The Cutting-Edge Clergy Caucus, LLC is a ministry that provides ministry support training and justice advocacy as found in the Gospels and rooted in the Hebrew prophetic tradition within the city of Birmingham and surrounding communities.
