We The Peace

Jesus-centered theology means that we embrace the image of God in all peoples as we seek to make sense of God. Josh uses John Eliot, an early American missionary to Native Americas, to illustrate how the Bible and theology has been used as a tool of domination instead of a tool that fosters local theology among Christians. Josh proposes that theology should honor the image of God in all peoples, not just those with power and control of land.
