Overview:

By scrutinizing layers of identity and attempting to set on foot new paradigms, Green endeavors to address issues related to identity, e.g., identity crisis—a critical and challenging aspect for BMBs' discipleship and social reintegration.

Content:

Critiquing the limitations of the C Spectrum (developed by Dr. John Travis), Tim Green seeks to lay the foundation for new models to frame discussions about BMBs to help better understand the current, complex issues. To that end, Green proposes inspecting various aspects of BMBs’ identity (i.e., core identity, social identity, and collective identity) as the foundation for new models to be drawn upon.
