In many means, this is a really platonic introduction to a more justice (or praxis-) oriented arroyo to Christianity and especially the Bible. It methodically lays out what is problematic about a privileged understanding of Christianity from the eye (largely that it abstracts the transformative and radical callings of the faith into metaphorical loopholes that permit for the connected perpetuation of the status quo) and then goes onto explicate why refocusing to appoint with the Bible through marginal perspectives is both cosmetic and in alignment with Jesus'south original audience. I piece of work for the ministry building Mission Yr and nosotros added it to our curriculum this yr; that is a context in which I'g actually grateful for this volume.

With that said, information technology definitely merely skims the shallow waters of essentially each vantage betoken it engages with, and this is particularly truthful for those marginalized past their sexual orientation. The section on "The Gay Christ" in particular felt the well-nigh like an added afterthought, and I think the argument he made was really lacking and would have greatly benefited from an engagement with Queer Theory (although, I just realized that Radical Love: An Introduction to Queer Theology, the text I immediately thought of, wasn't published until 2011, 9 years after this book). My business organization is that, because De La Torre prioritized the inclusion of a diverse and broad-ranging drove of demographics and representative voices, those who are more than skeptical could finish the book unmoved and unconvinced by their featured contributions because of the brevity of their engagement. However, I do recall that he successfully collection his overarching point home, which was the importance of engaging with those voices (and the people they're connected to) –– which hopefully involves further reading than his brief overviews.

Despite agreeing quite ardently with De La Torre's bulletin and points, I did experience tension with the pronounced lack of nuance effectually "those at the margins" and their practiced religiosity. That is to say, in many ways it seemed every bit though people were regarded equally monoliths, and as someone who has/currently lives "on the margins" in an economically disadvantaged Hispanic neighborhood of North Philly, I tin can assure y'all that there is abundant multifariousness within the theological orientations of people here. In fact, many of them trend towards the more bourgeois, abstruse theologies that De La Torre associates with whiteness, wealth, ability, and privilege. While this undeniably invites a conversation around colonization and isn't at all a conclusive counter-argument to his indicate, information technology felt increasingly frustrated to encounter people living at the margins presented as if they all, past default, approach their faith in the ways he was describing. What I would really beloved from a volume like this is a more robust engagement with the widespread and often-quoted notion that "Liberation Theology opted for the Poor, and the Poor, in turn, opted for Pentecostalism."

I would say that De La Torre's ideas are bang-up, for the most part, but he could work on making his presentation a footling more graceful. Especially considering that we're all approaching the topic from a viewpoint of grace, he should prove a little more grace and willingness to reconcile with those who he considers to be marginalized past. ...more

De La Torre provides a difficult yet approachable read for those who desire an introduction to different theological lenses. His ideas are well articulated. There were several instances where my privilege bumped upwards against his words, causing me both discomfort and the want to rethink how I approach scripture. For this I am both stretched and thankful.

As if reading or faith or anything could e'er exist devoid of point of view or purely objective. de la Torre celebrates the insights and force that come from reading scripture from a particular point of view, and argues that reading from a more marginalized culture makes one more, rather than less, likely to read in means that are true-blue to the ability and bulletin of the gospel.

The terminal judgement of the book: "Reading the Bible from the margins provides a salvific message of liberation for all humanity past providing the cardinal to gainsay the oppression of humans by other humans then that all tin bask the abundant life." (172)

4 lines from his penultimate affiliate on salvation.
-"...circumscribed Jesus to my personal life becomes the ultimate act of religious selfishness." (137)
-"How can a church in an affluent nation similar the United States follow the God of the crucified people?" (146)
-"...when Euroamericans read 'righteous' or 'righteousness' in their Bibels, Hispanics read 'just' or 'justice.'" (146)
-"Salvation, as liberation, requires crucifying maleness, riches, and whiteness - in other words, the active dismantling of any social structure designed to privilege i group at the expense of some other." (150)

And from the concluding affiliate:
"The themes that serve equally the foundation for how marginalized communities read the text besides serve equally a cosmetic to the highly individualistic and spiritual interpretations coming from the heart of order." (160)
-Exodus: God the Liberator
-Amos: God the Seeker of Justice
-The Gospels: God the Doer
-Acts and the Messages from Paul: God the Subverter

I can't exactly remember when I got this book, but it was presently later hearing Miguel A. de la Torre speaking at a conference. He made the point that there is one Greek discussion that tin be translated every bit either righteousness or justice. And then, in the Beatitudes my English NIV says, "Blest are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness," while my Spanish Bible says, "Dichosos los que tienen hambre y sed de justicia." While my understanding of righteousness had e'er been about an individual relat I can't exactly call up when I got this book, only it was shortly after hearing Miguel A. de la Torre speaking at a briefing. He made the point that in that location is one Greek word that tin be translated equally either righteousness or justice. So, in the Beatitudes my English NIV says, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness," while my Castilian Bible says, "Dichosos los que tienen hambre y sed de justicia." While my understanding of righteousness had ever been about an individual relationship with God that resembled piety, my agreement of justice had a more than horizontal dimension - involving not only our relationship with God, but too with other people and even all of creation. This may take been the beginning to a critical shift in my agreement of who God is and our relationship to God and others.

So, I picked upwards the volume which has now made three moves with our family unit along with its slowly moving bookmark. Simply, earlier this month, I finished reading it, and find it a actually helpful tool. In some ways information technology is like a very basic primer to the curriculum I experienced at McCormick Seminary. I'm glad to take it as an bachelor resources, simply also happy to lend information technology to anyone who is interested in because how the Bible is approached past those living at the margins of society.

Don't permit the long time it took me to complete the volume keep y'all from my strong recommendation that others read the book, as was my wife'due south initial reaction!

There were many points brought upwardly past De La Torre that I agreed with, and quite a few times I had to process through an idea that I had not thought of earlier. Nevertheless, there were also certain parts that I did not necessarily agree with 100%. The main disagreement I had with him was his definition of racism.

While De La Torre disagrees with the modern definition of racism being the active hatred for another race or the witting conventionalities that ane is superior, I believe he goes besides far on the other side to fence that your thoughts do not thing at all, and that you are racist just if the organisation works in your favor, whether or not you lot are fighting to try to rectify the system. That definition becomes racist because it is based purely on your pare color likewise. I recall that racism is something that is more of a mix of both, and in-between. Racism is something of benefiting from your pare color, but not acknowledging the injustice or trying to right the wrongs that are occurring. It is the unwillingness to reach out across cultural and racial borders and understand those different than yous. People can be racist without outright hating someone, but I don't retrieve nosotros should label someone racist simply because of their skin, because that simply adds to the trouble, especially in a time when that give-and-take brings upwardly a lot of hurt and frustrations. ...more

De La Torre convincingly challenges this hermeneutical prioritization by arguing that marginalized voices are, after all, the very voices Jesus' mission of skilful news and justice was for, and only be hearing these voices can both oppressors and the oppressed observe abundant life. He offers indispensible challenges to how Euroamerican civilisation has read the ancient biblical texts, specially how they have inserted their own values in place of the needs and desires of the text's original audience. All those within the ascendant culture of the west should wrestle with DLT'south challenges here.
Nonetheless the book frequently accuses the aboriginal authors for not sharing 21st century western sensibilities. These modern sensibilities are, in the conclusion, how DLT defines what Jesus must take meant by "abundant life." Important for its promotion of the marginalized's perspective and its modeling of how to read the scriptures from underneath, much of the book's exegetical conclusions should be challenged by and would benefit from other sources stronger on the historical groundwork of the primary texts.

De La Torre successfully elucidates the power of interpretation in the Bible and how it has been used in manipulation. He shows, in specific instance verses, the capacity for interpretations that aid those who are victims of systematic oppression. This is not a book on the exclusivity of the Bible for conservancy, but rather reclaiming it for what it is--a light in the darkness of suffering.
