The God Who Riots

Garcia traces the radical Jesus, the political agitator and insurrectionist Jesus who lies buried so deeply under gold and stone and church doctrine. He reminds us of a God who is of 'the least of these', a God of the oppressed, and against the oppressor. A God that flips tables, a God that is protected from prosecution, not by sheer divinity, but by the bodies of masses. A collectively constructed God that is constituted through the act of rioting. "Abolition come, on earth as it is in heaven."

Finished chapter two last week and the only reason I put it down is I’m reading it with a book club and want to remember it as we go. Otherwise I’d have probably not gone to sleep until it was done. Riveting!!
