Stranger God - Welcoming Jesus in DisguisePaperback
When Richard Beck first led a Bible study at a maximum security prison, he went to meet God. And sure enough, God met him in prison.With his signature combination of biblical reflection, theological reasoning, and psychological insight, Beck shows how God always meets us in the marginalized, the oppressed, and the refugee. His own faith was flagging, but Beck still believed the promise of Matthew 25, that when we visit the prisoner, we visit Jesus.
The call of the gospel, however, is to override those impulses with compassion, to ""widen the circle of our affection."" In the end, Beck turns to the Little Way of St. And stories from Beck's own life illustrate this truth-God comes to him in the poor, the crippled, the smelly.Psychological experiments show how we are predisposed to like those who are similar to us and avoid those who are unlike us.
