Walter Brueggemann writes on the scholarship of late anthropologist James C. Scott, and how “the weapons of the weak” may be found in Scripture.

The wealthy, the powerful, and those who produce the poison of our planet count on the rest of us to be compliant, even if in dissent. The spell of such fearful compliance can be and will be broken only by the few good women and men who dare to march to a different drummer, work from a different script, and act in ways congruent with their conviction of a world held in the good hands of the creator.
