This is a great book which explores how to read the bible with people who have been marginalized. ( ) Stimulating suggestions for seeing the Bible's message for people on the margins of society. The author has enabled Bible study in prisons withj offenders, addicts, illegal immigrants etc. This book helps us see even basic things like the Creation story and complex passages like the New Testament Epistles as a iving message for people who are oppressed. The key thesis of the book is sound; hermeneutical points of entry are significantly determined by context. Repetitious and too dependent on stories from the author's own experience, the ultimate impact of the book was tedious for me. I also found the postmodern agenda somewhat disturbing - truth did in the end seem to be determined more by the reading than by the received wisdom of the Church. Reader-response theory is all very well, but it cannot have the last word in a Christian metanarrative. God does not always say what seems right, or appropriate, to us.

Exploring the challenges that both the churched and the unchurched have faced regarding giving and receiving the word of God, Bob Ekblad encourages us all to learn to read the Bible together as a whole. In this compelling book, he reflects on how Christians have often found it difficult to proclaim God's good news to every realm of society, while those who have needed it most have frequently deemed themselves unworthy due to social circumstances or sinfulness. In Reading the Bible with the Damned, Ekblad offers concrete advice on how to bridge this gap through a variety of insights ultimately leading to spiritual transformation. This book is full of examples of how Scripture changes lives for those who attend Bible studies and for those who lead them, offering practical suggestions on many passages from the Old and New Testaments.
