Trajectories of Justice

Viac o knihe

Exploring the Bible's historical context reveals its progressive stance on human rights, particularly regarding the oppressed, including slaves and women. The authors aimed to elevate these groups in a society marked by slavery and patriarchy, laying the groundwork for modern democratic values. Critics often misinterpret the text, overlooking its call for dignity and rights. Additionally, the Bible's references to same-sex relations are often misapplied, as they address issues like rape and exploitation rather than condemning homosexuality.
