Hey, TBM.

I happened to be exploring a particular website, and when I searched "Altizer", this appeared as the first result (of two): Japanese and Continental Philosophy: Conversations with the Kyoto School. Thomas Altizer is certainly the Altizer involved, but I don't know what his relation to the book is. The book seems pertinent to your interests so I figured I'd run it by you.

By the way, and I don't know how to say this without it seeming creepy, but, through knowing some about your interests and, sharing some of them, having subscribed to the same groups, I think that I've figured out who you are on Facebook.

It only covers the sayings of Jesus, but I consult The Five Gospels whenever I am puzzled by something Jesus said. It is often interesting, and sometimes helpful!

The Cambridge Companion to Liberation Theology is a good survey.

I second Cone's God of the Oppressed.

Jesus Acted Up by Robert Shore-Goss is a good intro for gay/queer liberation theology.

Amazing! Have you ever heard about Alain Badiou's hypertranslation? He does this on his retelling of Plato's Republic. Some buddhists (link) are doing this with the suttas. Wonderful work.

I try to some of this too. I read the Bible a lot, but not so often.

I actually have two other study bibles: the Harper-Collins Study NRSV Bible and Oxford Study Bible: Revised English Bible with the Apocrypha -- think those would be okay?

I'm not sure if I need anything more than that, but I wanted to make sure I was getting everything I needed to get out of reading it. I'm kind of afraid of trying to interpret everything myself without expert advice backing me up.

The Orthodox Heretic by Peter Rollins

All About Love by bell hooks

EDIT: I also have a few poetry books that I love, but I can't remember the names of them, so I'll post again later when I'm in my room.

I never read a study Bible, I've always read the Bible by myself and drew on material that was written about it like The Tribes of Yahweh or God and Empire

My dude: behold. Look around, might be able to find it for a little bit cheaper.

Simone Weil - Gravity and Grace


Gustav Landauer - Revolution and Other Writings


Ursula K. LeGuin - The Dispossessed

Get yourself one of these.

I just finished Plato's Gorgias, and The Death of Scripture and the Rise of Biblical Studies. I have a book of essays called The Practice of the Bible in the Middle Ages that I intend to read out of. I also have selected poems of Li Po at my bedside waiting to be read. But for the most part, I feel like I'm stuck in reading limbo. I don't have much of a coherent reading plan and I'm used to that. I guess my focus now is to look at how the practice of and approach to the Bible has fluctuated over time. The answer is quite a bit.

The New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha is the standard.

I also highly recommend the Jewish Annotated New Testament.

Edit: My bad I thought you were asking for study bible recommendations.

What is it you’re wanting? Are you wanting to study biblical criticism and history? Or is this for spiritual practice and fulfillment?
