What happens when such figures as Lot's Wife, Job's Wife, Nimrod, \"Doubting\" Thomas, and the cursed disciple Judas take center stage? What happens if the Bible is read to privilege the margins of life, where the most socially questionable and ignored are found?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn asking and answering these questions, Anthony B. Pinn finds important lessons in the hidden corners of scripture, in the dark places, and among the despised figures who have a troubled relationship with a troubling world. Freeing these figures to offer their version of events, this book encourages a reading of the Bible against the Bible. What results are surprising new ways for readers to imagine the world and their place in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePinn argues that there are life-affirming lessons to learn from these marginalized figures. Something important about our humanity, the fragile nature of life, is illustrated not by the Bible's heroes but by those we tend to forget or discredit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48038168559852,"sku":"9780300283495","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780300283495-biblical-outlaws.jpg?v=1785390756"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/anthony-b-pinn.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
