In the book, Webb seeks to employ what he calls a redemptive - movement hermeneutic to help distinguish between cultural and trans -
cultural biblical values, specifically applying this method to slavery, gender issues, and homosexuality.
I think James Cone is right when he says: «Theologians of the Christian Church have not interpreted Christian ethics as an act for the liberation of the oppressed because their views of divine revelation were defined by philosophy and other
cultural values rather than by the
biblical theme of God as the liberator of the oppressed.»
