Sir Robert Anderson uses his investigative gifts to uncover and
explain several of the most misunderstood verses in the Biblical
New Testament. By employing a close and detailed reading of the
holy text in its proper context, Anderson is able to clarify and
expound upon the true meanings expressed. Several of the New
Testament Gospel teachings are often misconstrued or
oversimplified; their overall meaning, or simply the depth of the
passages, are neglected. The author could not stand for such
deficient scholarship of the Bible, and so published this informed
commentary. Several of the passages isolated concern comments made
by Biblical figures such as the Apostles John, Matthew and Paul.
How their words are misread, downplayed or simply ignored in the
schema of the New Testament lore is first identified, then
dismissed by the author. Often, Anderson cites other passages in
the Old and New Testament books which carry relevance or support
the truth of the verse concerned.
An Emancipatory Pedagogy of Jesus: Towards a Decolonizing
Epistemology of Education and Theology is an in-depth analysis on
the emancipatory power of love exhibited and exemplified in the
life, pedagogy, and praxis of Jesus Christ. This book takes its
reader on an intellectual and spiritual journey that uncovers the
importance of how culture, identity development, spirituality, and
ethnicity are essential elements in the intellectual, academic, and
spiritual development of Black, bi-cultural, and indigenous
populations who have been oppressed and marginalized. It
courageously presents Jesus Christ as the quintessential critical
educator, who Himself was also bi-cultural, marginalized, and
oppressed. This book provides a unique perspective on Jesus the
Teacher. Oftentimes scholarship seeks to examine only the ethics
and teachings of Jesus; however, this work looks to unearth the
emancipatory power of the pedagogy of Jesus and its foundational
contributions to social movements such as Liberation Theology in
Latin America and the fight for Justice and Civil Rights for
African Americans here in North America. By examining both the
theological and pedagogical offerings of Jesus, this book seeks to
determine not only what can be learned from a critical pedagogy of
Jesus, but more importantly, who benefits most from engaging in His
praxis. Through Jesus' masterful integration of theology and
pedagogy, He is presented as the literal embodiment of liberation
from all forms of oppression. It is in Jesus' emancipatory pedagogy
where both theology and education find their greatest fulfillment
through an emancipatory praxis for liberation, ultimately resulting
in a pedagogy that reconciles humanity back to God and God to
humanity.
