"Even in the United States, four out of five Americans experience situations of near-poverty in their lifetimes. Reading biblical texts through the lens of a 'hermeneutic of hunger, ' therefore, is to read with the interests of the majority rather than a minority in mind. Informed by these interests, Sutter Rehmann is able to rediscover, reclaim, and revitalize core biblical and theological traditions of solidarity with the many and with God, redefining religion in the process."

"Biblical interpreters will warmly welcome this translation for English-speaking audiences of Wut im Bauch: Hunger im Neuen Testament, already available in its second German edition. Rage in the Belly centers a 'hermeneutic of hunger' by attending to the silences in the biblical text that spark battles against hunger. This book frames the struggles among the poor, and the anger often accompanying them, as a visionary force that leads social movements. This naming of hunger and injustice firmly grounds the call for bread and justice, and rightly takes its place in the liberationist tradition."
