>You can certainly argue that he was progressive for the time but he does place restrictions on how people should live (premarital sex, there's more I can't remember offhand) which is inherently reactionary.

True but I think enforcement is left to God, not us. Judge not, etc.

Well, if you’re open to Christianity challenging you and not just coding you, I’d recommend picking up James Cone’s God of the Oppressed, Kathryn Tanner’s Christianity and the New Spirit of Capitalism, or Delores Williams’ Sisters in the Wilderness.

u/bobo_brizinski · 7 pointsr/Christianity

Yes, there are several. A book that really opened my eyes on pro-Palestinian Christians is Faith in the Face of Empire by Mitri Raheb.

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/Reformed

I was looking at books and this one seems to address liberation theology. The reviews seem to be saying that it more critiques it, I'll have to find something that goes in depth as to the origin of these theologies.

I think you are right when saying the most Biblical theology (Arguably Reformed Theology) is indiscriminate. The Gospel does not regard race, all men are sinful, not just one race / color.

Edit: Here is the book

Greeetings comrade.

>what are some of your favorite Anarchist writings,

Armed Joy by Alfredo Bonanno, Feral Revolution by Wolfi Landstreicher, Conquest of Bread by Pyotr Kropotkin, The Revolutionary Catechism by Sergei Necheyaev.

>some of your favorite teachings of Jesus

The Parable of the Sheep and Goats and the Parable of the Bags of Gold


>and where they intersect?

I focus a lot on the negative. Hell, damnation, and suffering and I consider the experience of hell to be formative to my politics, if only because I think radical Christianity is a result of existence in a totally inverted world. So let's go to hell...

>Also any book recommendations for me?

God of the Oppressed by James Cone
