Jesus and the Stigmatized

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Elia Shabani Mligo's own profound knowledge about the situation of people living with HIV/AIDS in Tanzania is balanced with a comprehensive and informed reflection on the complex phenomenon of stigmatization. He convincingly shows how reading the Bible can be a resource toward dignity for marginalized people. The book is highly valuable both in regard to the concrete topic discussed--HIV/AIDS and stigmatization--and for those who want to do Bible studies in a broader context than the academia.”
