Opens our eyes

It is common in scriptures for God's people to misunderstand their neighbors -- so, for example, Jeremiah has to instruct the exiles to care about Babylon neighborhoods and Paul leads the church's engagement with Mediterranean cultures (and needs to face down Peter to do it). DeYoung cares about how Euro-American eyes can be prone to misunderstandings concerning other cultures -- and he believes in the power of God's Word to convert us. These Bible stories, and DeYoung's savvy connections with America's cultures, provide a rich set of resources for the diversity we need in our diverse society.
