Topsy-Turvy

The world of the Bible is quite different from our own. According to Thomas Renquist it's a topsy-turvy world where guests become hosts where masters are turned into servants where hoarders are transformed into givers where peace-making is experienced as piece-making. And says Renquist the biblical world changes us because we begin to look at our own world in a different way ... seeing things from God's point of view.<br> <br><b>Thomas A. Renquist</b> is a graduate of the University of Iowa (B.A.) and Yale University (M.Div.). He is currently pastor of Lord of the Hills Lutheran Church (ELCA) in Aurora Colorado. The author of <i>What Grace They Received</i>(CSS) Renquist is one of 60 pastor/theologians selected by the Center of Theological Inquiry in Princeton New Jersey for three years of study and conversation concerning the church's current theological crisis.
