The world needs leaders who are prepared to dismantle injustice.
Through the story told in the Song of Solomon, you will learn to use the one tool that heals both victim and oppressor: God’s love.
This once popular interpretation of the Song of Solomon details a young woman’s struggle between submitting to King Solomon as his sex slave and accepting her beloved Shepherd’s invitation to come away. The scholars who subscribed to this interpretation believed the Song of Solomon was a rallying cry to dismantle the injustices perpetuated by the unpopular King Solomon against his Northern Kingdom. Was this interpretation buried in modern times to justify slavery and segregation? You will need to judge for yourself.
The book is divided into eight lessons, each ending with a suggested spiritual practice. The reader gets a solid understanding of the Song of Solomon wrapped around an unforgettable parable: the story of an African-American baseball coach turned congressional representative, who, influenced by the Song of Solomon, spent his life dismantling injustice.
The Disorderly Parable Bible Studies teach the way Jesus taught, by using stories of everyday people and things to illustrate spiritual truths.
