Thurman’s work keeps showing up on the desk of anti-apartheid activists, South American human rights workers, civil rights champions, and now Black Lives Matter advocates.” –Rev. Otis Moss III, author of Blue Note Preaching in a Post-Soul World and senior pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ A commemorative edition of the work that inspired Martin Luther King Jr. and helped shape the civil rights movement In this beautiful gift edition of the classic theological treatise, complete with a place-marker ribbon and silver gilded edges, celebrated theologian and religious leader Howard Thurman (1899–1981) revolutionizes the way we read the gospel. Thurman lifts Jesus up as a partner in the pain of the oppressed and reveals the gospel as a manual of resistance for the poor and disenfranchised. In this view, the example of Jesus’s life shows us that hatred does not empower—it decays. Only by recognizing fear, deception, contempt, and love of one another can God’s justice prevail. With a new foreword by acclaimed womanist theologian Kelly Brown Douglas, this edition of Jesus and the Disinherited is a timeless testimony of faith that demonstrates how to thrive and flourish in a world that attempts to destroy one’s humanity from the inside out. Having witnessed firsthand the depths of white supremacy and the heights of human civility, Thurman reiterates the inherent dignity of all of God’s children.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780807024034","publication_date":"20221011","publisher":"Beacon Press","slug":"jesus-and-the-disinherited","subtitle":"","title":"Jesus and the Disinherited"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"REL067120","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Liberation Theology","score":0.7515,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"REL012110","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Christian Social Issues","score":0.7348,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"REL067020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"The Christian Soul","score":0.7097,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"REL067120","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Liberation Theology","score":0.7515,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"REL012110","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Christian Social Issues","score":0.7348,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"REL067020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"The Christian Soul","score":0.7097,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"REL012040","confidence_band":"high","label":"Inspirational Christian Books","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"REL012070","confidence_band":"high","label":"Christian Personal Growth","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"REL067000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Christian Theology","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Liberation Theology","score":0.7515,"slug":"liberation-theology"},{"label":"Christian Social Issues","score":0.7348,"slug":"christian-social-issues"},{"label":"The Christian Soul","score":0.7097,"slug":"the-christian-soul"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers interested in theology and the gospel as a resource for resistance","Readers exploring faith, racial oppression, and human dignity"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Obery M.
