a book review: Jesus and the Disinherited

Man. What a surprisingly good book. Much different than expected, but in a very good way. 

I think my biggest takeaway was the way it reoriented my perspective of Jesus’ gospel. Before, I would have said the gospel is a message of reconciliation to the disinherited. But Thurman describes it as a gospel of the disinherited. It kind of puts things on its head, in a lot of ways. 

There was so much in that little book, but for those who haven’t read it yet, I won’t attempt to review much more. But in general, it overlapped much of what I’ve been learning - which helps me process and reinforces heart change.
