Fear, Hate, Love, Oh My!

Lots of great info about how Thurman developed the text from lectures. Currently, the article mentions "theme(s)" but what theme(s) specifically? The theme of Jesus and minorities? Jesus and revolution? Or the themes from each chapter, such as Fear, Hate, Love, etc? Discourse from other theologians regarding Thurman's text in the context of Christian Ethics might be beneficial. Also, are the references being funky for anyone else? My browser won't let me see them. PlantsForHire (talk) 19:51, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to summarize book chapters

Hello, Wiki Editors!

I am trying to create chapter summaries for Thurman's Disinherited and would like some feedback on my first draft of Chapter One. Specifically, I would like to know if my language use is up to Wiki standards, and if I'm on the right track for what content to include.

Chapter One summary, first draft:

Chapter one of JATD is Thurman’s interpretation of Jesus. In his interpretation, Thurman analyzes Jesus as a “religious subject rather than a religious object” (5). He continues to say that one must consider the society Jesus had lived in and how that society might shed light on the relationship between Jesus’ teachings and the disinherited and/or underprivileged. Specifically, Thurman emphasizes the fact that “Jesus was a poor Jew” (7). Thurman explains the options of survival Jesus witnessed his people living in under the oppression of the Roman Empire. The nonresistance options were imitation, in which Thurman mentions the Sadducees, or isolation, in which Thurman includes the Pharisees. The third alternative Thurman includes out right is armed resistance which he relates to the Zealots. Because this was the environment Jesus had lived in, Thurman suggests that the religion of Jesus should be considered as a “technique of survival for the oppressed” (18).

Thank you!
