Hey everyone!
This is Rod from the blog former known as Echomen Elpida which used to be Black Trinitarian Theology. After months of debating within myself and with others about the advantages of WordPress, I finally gave in. I will never give in to Twitter so just forget about that Rob! This blog is in homage to the works of John Howard Yoder and Stanley Hauerwas., who both believe that the Church is God’s political activity in the world and that the stories of Israel and Jesus inform humanity of a God of nonresistant love, a God who persuades us, the people of God, to live in truth, faithfulness, and nonviolent resistant.
Introducing Political Jesus!

The Make Over for this blog
Just an update:
I have been considering for quite a while to change the template of this blog to make it aesthetically pleasing. The picture at the top is a saint in Greek Orthodoxy named Moses the Black or Moses the Ethiopian who lived as a slave at one point. I think that he is symbolic of the work I am trying to do, understanding the Chrisitian religion in light of imperial social structures such as slavery.
In addition, the title of the blog has changed to ECHOMEN ELPIDA which is greek for, We Have Hope! I thought it made sense given the url's namesake. I also have been wanting to, ever since I started reading and writing in Biblical Greek to re-do the title of this blog in something greek, like the peeps over at Euangelion and Koinonia as well as Epignoskein and Pisteuomen. You can just call me a copycat, w/e!
I HOPE (elpidzo) you all enjoy! :)
