Jesus and the Disinherited

Short Review: Read this classic!! Thurman wrote this in 1949, before the civil rights era. But he was writing a sophisticated theological and sociological understanding of how being disinherited matters. The first chapter is a theological background on Jesus (with some contrast with Paul) in his role as disinherited matters to Jesus' theology and practice. Then comes four chapters, Fear, Deception, Hate and Love work out implication of Jesus.

There is too much to summarize. I have about 1800 words on my blog about it (and that still skips two chapters) http://bookwi.se/jesus-and-the-disinherited/
