Wednesday Circle: Reading the Bible from the Margins

The Wednesday evening sharing circle will start working our way through a new book:

Reading the Bible from the Margins by Miguel A. De La Torre 

Here's the book blurb:

"A basic guide to reading the Bible from the perspective of the poor, oppressed, and marginalized. This readable and provocative introduction to hermeneutics emphasizes how issues of race, class, and gender influence our reading and understanding. Reading the Bible from the Margins begins where other texts fail to go: with the perspectives of those who society ignores. De La Torre shows how traditional or standard ways of approaching the Bible can be unacceptable to those who are discriminated against, and that the insights and understandings of biblical texts from the margins are enriching and valuable to all readers."

It can be purchased at all your major book stores.

Please join in if you like.
