"Jesus the Ingrate," by Diana Butler Bass — Aaron Thiessen
On July 19, Aaron was back to recycle a more contemporary sermon, this time by religious scholar and historian Diana Butler Bass.

Ultimately, Butler Bass claims that Jesus' life of thankfulness also entails a call to subvert the logic of Empire.
