This is a very rich, and perhaps, provocative reading of the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, echoing some themes from Hoard-Brook's earlier work. I found it offered me new perspectives on my faith and life. What more can one ask? ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A compelling view of two competing religious visions--one of "creation" and the other of "empire"--That run throughout the Bible.
"A remarkable offering for those who care about the interface of power and faith with all the threats and seductions that go with it. . . As I read, I felt overwhelmed, both by the mass of data and by the cunning of interpretation. I could not put it down, and expect to continue to be instructed by it.--Walter Brueggemann.
"Howard-Brook illuminates how ancient empires exercised control and manipulation of people not simply by political and military means, but also through the religion of empire. Throughout he makes clear that the core message of the God of creation is to call people out of empire, to refuse to cooperate with the forces of destruction and domination today."--Richard Horsley.
"Will become a classic for communities that seek first to receive the gracious gift of God's alternative future to Empire."--Jarrod McKenna.
"If we who sojourn in America are to be a community that can both name and resist the lure of Empire, we need a story more powerful than the story called America. Wes Howard-Brook knows than the Bible tells such a story. May its story be ours as we're set free from our imperial imaginations to dream with our Creator of a new world here and now."--Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove --Book Jacket.
