Reading Jesus’ Parables with Dao De Jing

World Religions

“In this deceptively slim volume, Kim explores powerful ancient wisdom in the teachings of both Laozi and Jesus. Drawn from natural metaphors about many aspects of life, Kim reveals their abiding common themes such as humility, the value of lowliness and smallness, or maintaining a balanced perspective on life. He unpacks the potential laden in humble beginnings and things forsaken. Kim succeeds in communicating compelling readings of life’s experiential knowledge.”

YHWH in the Wind(s)

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Chiswa Gandiya’s book, YHWH in the Wind(s), is a literary masterpiece. Situating YHWH’s creativity and function in the primordial winds, and deriving support from interdisciplinary African creation mythology, Chiswa Gandiya charts new territory beyond traditional scholarship. The result is a fresh reading of YHWH’s role and activity in select biblical texts. I highly recommend this fascinating monograph to students of the Hebrew Bible, interdisciplinary scholars, and readers curious about the nature of divine activity in the scriptures.”
