say it to Jesus. The Gutres family misinterprets the role of Christ because of their illiteracy. They change Christ into Espinosa. They revere him for his hospitality. For example, “The Gutres, as if lost without him, liked following him from room to room and along the gallery that ran around the house…One evening, he caught them unawares, talking about him respectfully, in very few words” (Borges 3). They follow him around like Jesus’ twelve apostles.…

“altogether Christian”, cannot serve both Wesley’s God of love and a false god of hate. Christian society must choose which of these masters it will serve, if the fighting ever hopes to be resolved. My faith moves me over the threshold and into God’s holy rooms where the love of all neighbors…

Black Female Body in Venus and Intimate Apparel Being a white female-presenting person lends its own perspective to the race and gender divide in our country.
