Jonathan Tran Reading Group
Since the publication of his new book in 2022, a reading group has formed around Jonathan Tran's Asian Americans and the Spirit of Racial Capitalism (Oxford U. Press) and Milton is a part of this group. Years in the making, this provocative scholarly work challenges the prevailing "orthodoxy" in academic and political circles that the only thing that matters is "race." To put it bluntly in my own words, Jonathan argues "Sorry, but it's a little bit more complicated than that."
- … this book reframes conversations about race and racism from racial identity to political economy. In framing matters in terms of political economy, [this volume] reaches back to a trusted mode of analysis that has been obscured by the prevailing antiracist orthodoxy. (p. xvii)
Your Third Space director is not only an independent minister and social entrepreneur, he is also a Hebrew Bible scholar. Milton is pleased to announce his latest publication, The Baker Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words published by Baker Books. He is one of 40 contributors to this new reference work just released this past Feb. 14th. Learn the meaning of biblical words in the original Hebrew and Greek. This 1200-page volume is more complete and up-to-date than Vines and includes a dictionary in the back listing every Hebrew and Greek word in the Old and New Testaments. Though it is intended for seminary students and pastors, anyone serious about studying the Bible can benefit from this latest tool.
