Overview

“The Bible either helps or hinders, either liberates or oppresses. It is not neutral.” Carlos Mesters’ provocative statement shapes all nine chapters of The Seed and the Soil. The book explores the power of the Bible that brings about God’s transforming and liberating purposes, as well as its power as an often oppressively misused text. Characterized by a wide variety of storytelling, this book is accessible to all that read it.
