Jesus and the Stigmatized

Meer over het boek

The book critiques the tendency of biblical scholars to interpret the Bible solely through academic lenses, neglecting the insights and experiences of laypeople. It emphasizes the importance of incorporating diverse perspectives in biblical readings, particularly in addressing contemporary social issues like HIV/AIDS stigmatization. By highlighting the disconnect between scholarly interpretations and everyday contexts, the author advocates for greater lay participation, suggesting that it could enhance the Bible's relevance in addressing real-life challenges.
