Fwd: My new book was just published this week

What did Jesus really say about social justice?                                                     

WHAT DID JESUS SAY ABOUT SOCIAL JUSTICE? My book, The Maker Versus the Takers: What Jesus Really Said About Social Justice and Economics went on sale this week in bookstore and on Amazon. It is published by Post Hill Press. CLICK HERE TO BUY THE BOOK What we find is a Jesus whose denunciations were not aimed at the wealthy in general, but rather at the members of the ruling class and their cronies who were extractors of wealth from society, rather than producers of wealth. This book definitely demolishes the myth of a proto-socialist revolutionary Jesus, in favor of the picture of a Jesus who was a small business entrepreneur denouncing economic exploitation by the powerful and the connected. Along the way, it also demolishes the allegation, which has existed for far too long, that the Gospels promote anti-Semitism. CLICK HERE FOR BULK PRICING

Given the current state of social unrest, leaders in higher education must examine their approach to building an inclusive campus environment.

• Promote inclusivity while protecting free speech

• Build a crisis response team to respond to racists acts and symbols on campus

• Foster a culture that supports incident reporting
