Strangers in the Bible - René Micallef - Bog

Bag om Strangers in the Bible

Strangers in the Bible explores ways of overcoming the boundaries between exegesis and ethics without abolishing or blurring those boundaries. It makes a unique contribution by combining in a single book the epistemological debates, the methodology, and the results related to using Scripture to delve into an ethics issue. "Citing the helpful insights of an impressive variety of authorities and major thinkers along the way, René Micallef has chosen to think seriously about 'the stranger' both in Scripture and in our modern world where the term stranger almost always calls up mixed emotions and alarming rhetoric (neighbors, refugees, migrants, threats, victims, and so much more). However, Micallef's careful analysis of some of the complexities of trying to do serious biblical ethics is by no means a shallow sermon-and he pushes us to sharpen our reading of the Bible in relation to promoting compassion and justice in modern life. This is a challenging, thoughtful, and ultimately encouraging read." -Daniel L. Smith-Christopher, Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles
