Wut im Bauch

The anger over hunger as a central theme of the Bible. This book articulates what we, the well-fed, often prefer to overlook: the Bible unfolds a theology of the hungry. It is about discovering this theology. It is about understanding hunger in all its deadly thinness and comprehending the anger that is a reaction, perhaps even the response to hunger. Anger is the unyielding feeling that something is wrong and that action must be taken. Thus, there is a critically visionary anger. It is directed at something that is not yet there. This book invites a reading that makes it possible to see hunger in the Bible and to learn about justice and change from the people who have struggled with it. The rediscovery of the transformative power of Scripture. Theology against forgetting and silence.
