The Dispossessed God
Adrienne Rich says of the Jews “we are connected [as]…the pariah, suspect, marginalized, easily scapegoated, dispossessed.” (Arts of the Possible, p 144.) As a Christian I was taught to think of Israel, God’s chosen people, as conquerors, the ones who ultimately got the land of milk and honey. But for eons God’s people have been the dispossessed. What if God’s people were Isaiah’s suffering servant? What if God identified with the littlest, the least, the leper—and wanted to stand near? What if the work of God’s people were to bring the outcast in?
