{"product_id":"9780788099496","title":"Tears of Lady Meng: A Parable of People's Political Theology","description":"\u003ci\u003eHere is a superb example of the new way of doing theology. C.S. Song tells a charming story of long ago and then proceeds to draw some not-so-charming implications for what it means in our time. The \"safe\" tale turns out to have devastating impact on what we thought was our own secure world. Scripture, tears, prophetic insight, social analysis, politics, hope -- all of them are incorporated in this deceptively small package.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert McAfee Brown\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessor of Theology and Ethics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePacific School of Religion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis is a poignant meditation that cannot be labeled.
