"How will you fight for freedom in your most authentic way?" --Dr. Ellison #TheoEdTalks

[TheoEd @TheoEdTalks]

Thurman sums up Jesus’ life of alternative resistance to a 7-word formula: “The Kingdom of Heaven is in us.” #TheoEdTalks

[TheoEd @TheoEdTalks]

Jesus was a Jew. Jesus was poor. Jesus was a member of a minority group in the midst of a larger more dominant group. #TheoEdTalks

[TheoEd @TheoEdTalks]

Thurman makes three incisive conclusions that situated young man Jesus as one among many disinherited of his age. + #TheoEdTalks

[TheoEd @TheoEdTalks]

"We who believe in freedom can not rest until it comes." #TheoEdTalks

[TheoEd @TheoEdTalks]

Our final speaker is @drgregcellison2 with "A Picture of an Activist?" #TheoEdTalks

[TheoEd @TheoEdTalks]

Belief is not a choice; it is a gift. #TheoEdTalks

[TheoEd @TheoEdTalks]

I make it very clear...it is not those who say ‘Lord Lord’ but those who do the will of the Father in heaven who will receive eternal life

[TheoEd @TheoEdTalks]

Faith is not like Sudoku, such that if everyone had the same puzzle, a pencil and enough time, we’d all get the right answer. #TheoEdTalks

[TheoEd @TheoEdTalks]

Second speaker: Dr. Amy-Jill Levine w/ "Life After Death: Jesus, Judaism and Justice" #TheoEdTalks

[TheoEd @TheoEdTalks]

Bible is a lyric sequence offering us a collection of poems, full of candor, often in contradiction...that can be contemporary #TheoEdTalks

[TheoEd @TheoEdTalks]

Poetry is the “clear expression of mixed feelings.” #TheoEdTalks

[TheoEd @TheoEdTalks]

The first is that thinking the Bible as poetry...successfully avoids the problems that beset the story understanding. #TheoEdTalks

[TheoEd @TheoEdTalks]

It is simply this: that contrary to what most of us have been taught to think or believe, the Bible is not a narrative. #TheoEdTalks

[TheoEd @TheoEdTalks]

First speaker: Rev. Dr. @brentstrawn w/"The Greatest Story Never Told: Re-Thinking the Bible as Poetry" https://t.co/vMzDUvyJwe #TheoEdTalks
