Produktbeschreibung
In this provocative theological work, Kayumba David sets out on a radical journey to examine the dissonance between the Old Testament portrayal of God and the revelation of divine love, grace, and justice found in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Pauline epistles. With a critical eye, David uncovers the Old Testament's embedded systems of patriarchy, ethnocentrism, and state-sanctioned violence-often misrepresented as divine will.

He quickly earned a reputation for asking deep questions-and writing essays in his textbooks' margins.

An avid reader and social justice advocate, Kayumba now writes with humor and wisdom, drawing from a life rich in both books and battles for change
