Welcome to The Word in Black and Red: The Leftist Bible Study Podcast! We read the Bible from a leftist and liberationist perspective to illuminate the way people of faith and their comrades can understand the Bible as a source of healing, love, and liberation for all people.

The Hobbit is anti-consumerist literature.
My friend Graham on Everyday Anarchism makes a really compelling case that The Lord of the Rings is a fundamentally anarchist book. When I finally read it this year, I began to see the way in which Tom Bombadil, for example, exemplifies the power of living not in control of the land but in magical unity with it. Aragorn does not seek power because every man granted it in the books is so quickly corrupted. The afterward where Sam and Frodo lead an insurgent guerrilla action to save the Shire from becoming a capitalist hellscape. And then there's the real obvious thing that the only way to get rid of power is to destroy it.
The Hobbit has a lot less than that, but still a meaningful message: The hobbits eat six meals a day: breakfast, elevensies, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper. (Second breakfast is an invention of the movies and/or one Peregrin Took.) So Bilbo is almost eaten by six different challenges: the trolls, the goblins, Gollum, Mirkwood forest, and Smaug. This mirroring of the central challenge--that hobbits prefer a simple life without adventure but can occasionally be tempted out in pursuit of treasure--suggests that greed to consume can just as easily eat you up if you don't happen to have a literal angelic wizard on your side.
And if you have any doubt, Tolkien described his own political leanings as
more and more to Anarchy (philosophically understood, meaning abolition of control, not whiskered men with bombs)
So go annoy a conservative with that one!
Don't forget today that an empire built on slavery, conquest, rape, and endless love of money killed the son of God.
And in spite of the worship of that evil empire, the God of the oppressed did not stay dead.
hey if ur a queer christian blog or a christian witch blog or a progressive christian blog can u rb this
By all means not an expert, but progressive Christian’s saying they won’t get “political” when discussing Christianity or on their religious blog is a little strange and misguided. Homie the Bible IS POLITICAL and radically at that. Feeding the hungry, sheltering the poor, anti-violence, and anti-war is political. Taking care of our planet, Uplifting your community, and loving your neighbor is political. Politics isn’t just discourse on policy, politics stretches and defines every part of our life. By finding the good in humanity you participate in politics, and that’s a good thing I promise.
if christians were half as concerned with war and poverty as they are with sexual morality, we'd have world peace within the decade and wealth inequality would become a distant memory.

Join Micah, Ell, Rev. Ronnie @geekalogian , and Pastor Sarah as we explore the genital emissions for the first of two episodes in Leviticus 15.
What does “unclean” mean in the text and how has Christian culture changed it? How did these laws affect how open women could be about their cycles? And what’s the “mensies” tent? Find out some perspectives on these questions and more on this episode of The Word in Black and Red!

As a former fundamentalist, there are so many more obviously demonic signs in the Trump-as-Jesus image than there ever were on a Monster can. And I wasn't allowed to bring a Monster can into the house.
Join Micah, Ell, and Ronnie as we explore the rules about menstruation and childbirth in Leviticus 12. How was childbirth different when this text was written? Are these rules for birth-givers meant to oppress or to give them a break? And how dangerously close are women to being gods? Find out some perspectives on these questions and more on this episode of The Word in Black and Red!
