Where to begin! Where to begin! My exploration into this collection of books was sparked by a quote from Howard Thurman’s work, Jesus and the Disinherited: ‘What does the religion of Jesus offer to those with their backs against the wall?’ For Thurman, this inquiry commenced by examining Jesus’ circumstances as a Jew living in Roman-occupied Judea, an outsider in his own land, a member of a marginalized and oppressed people without civil protections. As you look through these books, I invite you to notice which one stands out for you... trusting that what resonates, challenges, or opens something within you may be the place where your own exploration continues.
