Despite the profound ignorance surrounding the absolute centrality of religious conviction at the heart of GRT communities, Steven Hornes' Gypsies and Jesus: A Traveller Theology sheds light on the grace-filled, intimate, and unheard core of GRT religiosity. This field of study, long dominated by non-GRT voices, is now reclaimed by Dr. Horne in his attempt to rewrite history and secure a future for Gypsies and Travellers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGypsies and Jesus: A Traveller Theology identifies and weaves cultural threads (beliefs, customs, narratives, histories, and rituals) from Gypsy and Traveller culture into a coherent message that exudes collective piety and cultural purity. Testimonies from members of the GRT community further develop this message, providing a rich tapestry of experiences and insights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo support this narrative, a biblical exegesis is employed, offering a scholarly and enlightening exploration of the Scriptures. This book is not merely an academic exercise; it is an exciting, revelatory, and at times sobering journey that empowers Gypsies to take ownership of their Gypsy-Christian identity. It challenges preconceived notions and sheds light on the rich tapestry of GRT culture, spirituality, and tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy delving into the depths of religious conviction and cultural heritage, Gypsies and Jesus: A Traveller Theology offers a fresh perspective on the experiences of these marginalized communities. It serves as a call to action, urging readers to recognize the importance of diversity, inclusivity, and compassion in our society. It is a testament to the resilience and strength of the GRT community, and a reminder that their voices and stories deserve to be heard and celebrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 528g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 166 x 243 x 25 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781913657949\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steven Horne","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44095891800314,"sku":"9781913657949","price":16.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1657293550889_book.jpg?v=1657776060","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/gypsies-and-jesus-a-traveller-theology-9781913657949","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
