ABSTRACT
Few books inspire both spiritual formation and social transformation. Jesus and the Disinherited is one of them. Since its publication in 1949, the book has challenged readers to rethink how the social status of Jesus, as a poor Jew living under Roman occupation and oppression, had bearing on his message and mission. It was a creative interpretation of Jesus’s status as one of the disinherited whose ministry empowered the disinherited to overcome their plight.
