Precious Precarity

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Precious Precarity by Helen Boursier is a refreshing approach to the book of Ecclesiastes for the modern day, as it impinges on the lives of migrant families on the southern border. Dr. Boursier does this by engaging several major themes from Ecclesiastes ("striving," "time and chance," "gain," "joy," etc.) and applying them to the experience of migrants and those who work with them. Precious Precarity both recovers a neglected, and often misunderstood, biblical book and shows us a way forward in the faithful application of its teaching. Heartily recommended!”
