Liberating Our Imaginations demonstrates the possibilities for liberation produced by reading biblical texts alongside works of contemporary literature by minoritized authors. While contemporary examples of oppression are not identical, the process of reading ancient and contemporary texts together can nonetheless open up imaginative and liberative interpretations of biblical texts. David Janzen demonstrates how this can work, allowing people from any community to use the Bible as a resource in different struggles against oppression.
