“A Model of Love and Liberation” delves into Clarence L. Jordan’s radical witness of love, cutting wit, and truth-telling in the Jim Crow South. Jordan was a founder of Koinonia Farm in Georgia—a racially integrated Christian community that endured shunning, death threats, and terrorist attacks. Jordan’s Cotton Patch Gospel “translated” the New Testament into the 20th-century South with sometimes blunt prophetic insight, believing that white Christians who wanted a Christ they could worship without loving their neighbor needed offending.
