reviewed The God Who Riots by Damon Garcia

Damon Garcia: The God Who Riots (Paperback, 2022, Broadleaf Books) 5 stars

Liberation Theology 101, or a materialist spirituality

5 stars

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."
