Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Open Friendship in a Closed Society: Mission Mississippi and a Theology of Friendship (Hardcover)
In this small volume, Dr. Slade captures the power and significance of a seemingly small community movement which is living out the admonition of Christ to connect deeply in true friendship. Connecting theological heavy hitters such as Bonhoeffer, Volf, and Moltmann with the everyday lives of Christians in Mississippi, he documents the power of the Spirit to bring healing to the long standing racial divide. Through the use of a balanced narrative he challenges the reader and the members of Mission Mississippi not to take an "either/or" approach to spirituality and social justice. The personal stories of those involved in Mission Mississippi throughout the book and render it both engaging and challenging to one's personal narrative and theology, especially with regard to the real possibility of substantive social change.Buy and read this exhaustively researched book that is both rigorously academic and readable at the same time. |
