Michael Frost - Deconstructing the Christian Narrative of Power (N302)
Nomad Podcast
The Transformation of the Christian Tradition
The story of Jesus, originally from a marginalized perspective, has been reinterpreted as the church gained power.

The tradition, which originally critiqued the abuse of power and systems that harm and marginalize, has been watered down to generic universal truths, allowing those in power to manipulate the language of faith for their advantage. Individuals with privilege and power must acknowledge that many scriptures were not written for them and should strive to understand the context in which they were created.
