| Summary: | The power accumulation by the socio-cultural hegemony of the ruling elite is to be encountered with valiant defiance through getting awakened to the God-given dignity in solidarity with other victims. The inner powers of the religio-cultural assertion of disempowered are to be consolidated through appropriate identification and interpretation of the symbols like the "Reign of God" and the Cross. The uncompromising criterion of protecting and promoting life has to encounter the systemic politico-cultural violence. The ethics of egalitarianism, the aesthetics of solidarity and empowerment with humanization seem to constitute the core of the power discourse of the life and mission of Jesus. |
