So many of these atrocities, such as the murder of George Floyd at the hands of police in the USA, have been triggered by the increasingly violent influence of Western imperialism, and are in many cases justified by Western interpretations of the Bible Through compelling studies of a number of passages of scripture from both Old and New Testaments, Dr Barton offers alternative readings based in the traditions of contextual and liberation theology. She highlights the importance of Jesus's teaching that one cannot serve both God and wealth, and shows that the mammonic interests of Western imperial Christianity are diametrically opposed to salvation and service of God. Through the examples of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr, she shows how non-violent forces of resistance to these forces of aggression and subjugation can bring God's realm of liberation, justice and peace on earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mukti Barton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1915412803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915412805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Darton Longman and Todd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Mukti Barton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48089438028031,"sku":"9781915412805","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_120c4668-64f9-4c4c-aebc-0e8b45a5a6cb.jpg?v=1769110254","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wrestling-with-imperial-christianity-mukti-barton-9781915412805","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
