My friend Karen Keen (@Keen_KR) releases her wonderful new book today! In it, Karen skillfully explains the origins, inspiration and interpretation of Scripture.

@Shouwen @PastorLibrarian @kevinmyoung @JoashPThomas It’s great. In a similar vein, I’d also highly recommend everything by James Cone (starting with The Cross and The Lynching Tree), If God Still Breathes, Why Can’t I? by Angela Parker, and Where Do We Go From Here? by Martin Luther King Jr.
