{"product_id":"9781630879853","title":"Changed Imagination, Changed Obedience: Social Change, Social Imagination, and the Bent-Over Woman in the Gospel of Luke","description":"In this work, Houghtby-Haddon takes a new look at an old text, using a theory of the Social Imagination as an exegetical guide. In her exploration of the Bent-Over Woman story in Luke 13:10-17, Houghtby-Haddon uncovers clues suggesting that this story is a key interpretive text for seeing Luke's social vision for his community at work. Exploring mythic, social, communal, and cultural elements beneath the surface of the story, Houghtby-Haddon suggests that the Bent-Over Woman is the embodiment of Jesus' claim in the synagogue in Nazareth that \"today, these Scriptures are fulfilled in your hearing\" (Luke 4:16-21), and that the woman prefigures the post-Pentecost community that will gather in Jesus' name. The author concludes by taking the theory from the Gospel of Luke to the streets to see how a contemporary neighborhood group might use the Social Imagination model—and the new reading of the story of the Bent-Over Woman—to imagine a twenty-first-century social vision for its own community: a vision that more fully embodies the just community Jesus proclaims in Nazareth.","brand":"Wipf \u0026 Stock Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47149335445744,"sku":"9781630879853","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781630879853_p0.jpg?v=1763671361","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781630879853","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
