Ewuare X. Osayande: Jesus & the Money Changers: Rioting Against the Economic Crisis 2/2
Rioting Against the Economic Crisis As recorded in the Gospel of Mark 11:15-18, Jesus initiates a rebellion within the temple at Jerusalem in response to the corrupt and exploitative practices he witnessed there. A few days later he would be crucified. This riotous act of protest by the “Prince of Peace” has been a source of controversy within Christianity for centuries. Poet and political activist Ewuare X. Osayande will relate the story of Jesus’ temple rebellion to the current economic crisis and render a Black liberation theological critique of American Christianity.
