(Philippians 2:5-7a). These ancient words offer a guide for modern Christians wrestling with their privileged place in an unequal and unjust world. The Kenosis Hymn (as this passage quoted by the apostle Paul is known) celebrates Jesus for his willingness to forego the divine glory that he is due, instead humbling himself to serve the oppressed and outcast of his society. Through a combination of in-depth Bible study and social analysis, Filled to Be Emptied invites readers to explore the hymn verse by verse and see Jesus' self-emptying example as a model for privileged people to see their advantages not "as something to be exploited" but as something to be laid aside to seek the good of others. Brandan J. Robertson walks readers through a step-by-step process of identifying their privilege, exploring their privilege, and ultimately leveraging their privilege as a tool for the liberation and redemption of the world. Filled to Be Emptied is an essential book for all followers of Christ who are seeking to live lives of justice. 650 0 $a Privilege (Social psychology) 650 0 $a Privilege (Social psychology) $x Religious aspects. 630 00 $a Bible. $p Philippians, II, 5-11 $x Criticism, interpretation, etc. 650 0 $a Theology $x Social aspects. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220409010606.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6F2AF3CAB7CA11EC864CB83724ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
