I had the opportunity to review Karen Swallow Prior (Notorious KSP at The Priory)'s new book "You Have a Calling" for Sola Media.

Grateful to read Rev. Joash P. Thomas’ great new book The Justice of Jesus in the Wind River Range this week. Like our friend Zach W. Lambert (in his great new book Better Ways to Read the Bible), he says that a faith that embraces hate, division, and injustice is anti-Christ Brazos Press

Many have been handed a way of reading the Bible that props up our politics, protects our comfort, and keeps us from the way of Jesus. Zach W. Lambert talks about removing those lenses and finding the Jesus who disrupts power, welcomes outsiders, and calls us to love our enemies.
Rev. Joash P. Thomas kindly sent me this excellent and accessible Brazos Press publication that helps Christians understand how Empire and colonialism has dramatically shaped their theology and cultural perspectives.
