The God Who Hears the Immigrant
The current mistreatment of immigrants and strangers is nothing new. Indeed, it’s one of the earliest lessons in the Bible, found in the story of Hagar. Bible scholar Tim Mackie translates this name from Hebrew to English for us, noting that it literally means, “The Immigrant.” With this in mind, we recognize we are being set up to pay attention to Abraham and Sarah’s treatment of this immigrant.

| A good book on hip-hop and theology with a great focus on justice. The first essay was my favorite, and I made more highlights in this book than I did in another book I own on the same theme. I read it as soon as it came out to get ready for an inter ...more | |

This is a must read for those of us who are always preaching Jesus and red letter theology. There are some comments made that are a little more absolute than they need to be, but they are provocative enough to make you think. With my master’s being in ...more |

“One by one, these disciples would infect the nations with grace. It wasn't a call to take the sword or the throne and force the world to bow. Rather, they were to live the contagious love of God, to woo the nations into a new future.”

“I think there is no suffering greater than what is caused by the doubts of those who want to believe. I know what torment this is, but I can only see it, in myself anyway, as the process by which faith is deepened. A faith that just accepts is a child's faith and all right for children, but eventually you have to grow religiously as every other way, though some never do.
What people don't realize is how much religion costs. They think faith is a big electric blanket, when of course it is the cross. It is much harder to believe than not to believe. If you feel you can't believe, you must at least do this: keep an open mind. Keep it open toward faith, keep wanting it, keep asking for it, and leave the rest to God.”
― The Habit of Being: Letters of Flannery O'Connor
