• 
  
• Powerfully argues that the Bible needs to be rescued from its abuse by the religious and political right
  
• Considers the history of revolutionary readings of the Bible, from Gerrard Winstanley to the present
  
• Urges a role for the Bible in a new "worldly left": an alliance between the religious and secular left that can promote more progressive readings of the text
  
• Concludes by offering a "political myth" from the Bible that condemns oppression, imagines a better society and celebrates the biblical themes of opposition and chaos.
