4.0 out of 5 stars
Story of hope for marginalized people,
By mlbpwilson@aol.com (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Galilean Journey: The Mexican-American Promise (Paperback)
This book is a short, effective treatment of much forgotten aspect of the gospels--the liberative aspect. Fluid and knowledgable, Elizondo backs each point amply with gospel text and other research. While Elizondo focuses primarily on two marginalized groups, the Biblical Galileans and the Mexican-Americans of today, in no way are the ideas exclusive to the two. The liberative aspect of the gospel is easily applicable to all, since all humans are oppressed by sin. Elizondo's prose is light and comprehensible, which is uncharacteristic of many books of theology. The book shouldn't take one long to read, and it is worth the small amount of time spent reading it.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Thought provoking book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Galilean Journey: The Mexican-American Promise (Paperback)
This book changed my view on how the experiences of Chicanos were represented by showing a parallel between Galilean Jews and Chicanos. It is refreshening and liberating. A well read book, and not too heavy on writing style. Easy to read and comprehend on what the author's trying to describe.
5.0 out of 5 stars
