That’s a fantastic point about the “burn it down” mentality; I’ll be pondering that this week.

On another note, two books that have helped me read these extremely troubling conquest stories in context are Inspired by Rachel Held Evans, and Decolonizing Palestine by Mitri Raheb.

I feel the same way about the church. Burn it down seems appropriate most days. But, in the end I know it accomplishes little. I love the book recos, thanks.

Yes! Thank you for the book recs! I was not familiar with Decolonizing Palestine.
