Learning how to read


So Bob Marley and legions of others have encouraged us to "read de Bible... it strong, it powerful".

I know that I should just leave it at that. Let us "Just do it". However,...

“Reading the Bible with the eyes of the poor is a different thing from reading it with a full belly. If it is read in the light of the experience and hopes of the oppressed, the Bible’s revolutionary themes – promise, exodus, resurrection and spirit – come alive.”
