Quotes by Jayakumar Christian  (?)

“The clash between the individual gospel and the social gospel leaves me cold. An individual gospel is a soul without a body, and a social gospel without an individual gospel is a body without a soul. One is a ghost and the other is a corpse. Put the two together and you have a living person.66”
Jayakumar Christian, God of the Empty-Handed: Poverty, Power and the Kingdom of God

“Powerlessness is the captivity of the poor within god-complexes created by the non-poor, built into structures and systems, shaped by the spiritual interiority within the power cluster.”
Jayakumar Christian, God of the Empty-Handed: Poverty, Power and the Kingdom of God

“Poverty is not about numbers. It is about inequality, and specifically about inequality in power relationships. It is about a minority, ‘less numerous, [who] performs all political functions, monopolizes power and enjoys the advantages that power brings.’15”
Jayakumar Christian, God of the Empty-Handed: Poverty, Power and the Kingdom of God
