Love Sechrest’s first chapter in her new book, Race & Rhyme: Reading the New Testament, is one of the finest explanations of a liberationist hermeneutic I have read. I cannot do it justice in one newsletter so I will do my best to give some of the biggest ideas.
It appears that the content of the book doesn’t disappoint when fitting it with the title.
I couldn’t help but think of Legos and the way they came back in the ‘60’s vs how the come now: A box with a variety of Lego shapes, sizes, and colors that could be constructed, deconstructed, reconstructed, etc. today, you, generally, but a kit for a certain construct. It can be constructed differently, by itself or with other kits, but there will probably be leftover pieces out of the new creation.
Love Sechrest brings the joy and sense of “with God anything is possible when constructing God’s liberating “Tov”!

Thank you, Scot for your post, and Tov!
