Showtime your review of Call and Consequences: A Womanist Reading of Marker

October x, 2020 Audra Spiven rated information technology really liked information technology

This book was a wonderful read for a perspective on the life of Jesus (equally specifically portrayed in the Gospel of Mark) that will exist new and probably challenging to many white theologians. In form we had discussion groups about this volume, and I was the only person in my discussion group who had heard of womanist theory prior to reading this volume. Ane person in my group complained nearly the book that St. Clair'southward views were too narrow, and that "everything kept coming back to being a black woman. This book was a wonderful read for a perspective on the life of Jesus (as specifically portrayed in the Gospel of Mark) that volition be new and probably challenging to many white theologians. In class nosotros had discussion groups about this book, and I was the only person in my discussion group who had heard of womanist theory prior to reading this book. I person in my grouping complained about the book that St. Clair'south views were too narrow, and that "everything kept coming back to existence a black woman." I explained that yes, information technology did, and that was St. Clair'due south intent and point.

The only deviation between this volume and any theology written past a white human being is that at least St. Clair is honest and up front end about her limited viewpoint, whereas white men arrogantly write theology from their white male perspective equally if it's the universal view, fifty-fifty though it isn't. If white male theologians were honest, not only about the fact that they write from particular perspectives just also about the fact that those perspectives are inherently limited, we'd have a lot more open-minded, gracious theology in the world and a lot less hot-blooded certainty and far fewer boundaries--all of which would make more people experience comfortable coming to the tabular array to share their ain perspectives.

I'm grateful for this important and meaningful contribution to the chat well-nigh the life of Jesus and what it means for discipleship. I didn't agree with everything St. Clair asserted in this volume, merely I did learn a lot from it, and I'yard glad to take read information technology.

Looking for something epic, stellar, or far out? Perchance a bit dystopian? And so these authors are your chosen ones to read adjacent! We asked...

"The phone call of discipleship is the invitation to follow Jesus. The status for discipleship is to appoint in a ministry like to his. We are chosen to engage in life-affirming, God glorifying, agony-eradicating ministry. We are called to partner with Jesus in service, not pain. Hurting is a issue of discipleship. It is non a lifestyle, a life sentence, or a life goal. Pain only signals the level of opposition to ministry building. It is not the measure of discipleship; ministry is. (p. 166)" — 0 likes
