Gospel of the Absurd

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The complexities of ethics and ethical engagement remain critical elements of social (justice) work. As we seek a better grasp it is important to consider varying perspectives, particularly those of the historically silenced. In Gospel of the Absurd, Miller executes this thought process through the lens of core social work thought leaders and black feminist pioneers to demonstrate ‘care ethics’ in a way that centers on the necessity of community. In doing so, he unabashedly renounces white supremacy by examining experiences of black suffering as a demonstration to white theologians of what it truly means to bear the cross.”
