Josiah's Passover


Book Description

Focusing on the celebrated story of Josiah's Passover in 2 Kings, Shigeyuki Nakanose provides a dramatic demonstration of the contribution of sociological hermeneutics to contemporary Biblical exegesis. This method complements historical-critical exegesis by reconstructing the social systems of Biblical communities in their religious as well as their economic and political orders. After introducing the sociological method and a brief consideration of historical and literary-critical readings of Josiah's Passover, Nakanose explicates the method of sociological analysis and its facets - economic, social, political, and ideological. Turning to the text itself, he shows clearly how the process of liturgical purification it describes is intimately tied to the centralization of political and commercial interests in ancient Israel. He then goes on to demonstrate, using the experience of Brazilian base communities, what happens when this critical reading is joined with critical reflection on the reader's own social location.




Josiah's Cry


Book Description

We are living in one of the most crucial times in the history of our nation. Our financial security has been shaken, our national security threatened, and we are at war in the Middle East. In the American Church, the grip of religion, false worship, and disunity is leaving us as tasteless salt to the world. The plum line of truth is increasingly becoming more skewed to fit the agendas of ambitious ministry. However, there is a generation rising up and crying out to know God in a real way. They are not about "doing church," but about glorifying God. These young leaders will lay a foundation of true change during a time of real persecution and trial by fire. We, the church, must embrace this Josiah spirit, crown them with authority, and support them as they restore true worship in the church. A fiery windstorm is coming that will scorch the flesh and expose the heart. Listen to the winds as they whisper what is to come. From its lips and out of its throat bellows the heart of God, this is Josiah's Cry: The Rising Revolution. Can you hear it? Jay Paul Roy is a licensed professional counselor who lives and works in Georgetown, Texas with his beautiful wife Kari, and children Judson, Straton, and Asah.
