Andrew Parker left a promising career in the Church and began a life as a manual worker, first in France, then Castlemilk, Glasgow and laterly in London where he still lives in Tower Hamlets. However, he has never given up on the Bible, believing it to be a book which, today more than ever, has much to teach us.
Kathy Galloway - Andrew Parker s readings of familiar biblical texts as presenting a marginal, political, ideological Hebrew worldview, profoundly in opposition to the status quo (then and now both) is contentious, illuminating and genuinely challenging. He stimulates in his readers; dialogue and questioning, sometimes agreement and often fury, but always passionate engagement. This in itself makes this book worth reading. But it is, equally, a valuable discipline in struggling to SEE from a very different perspective than the one we usually allow ourselves when reading the Bible.
