The South got somethin' to say: making space for Black ecclesial interpretation -- Freedom is no fear: the New Testament and a theology of policing -- Tired feet, rested souls: the New Testament and the political witness of the church -- Reading while Black: the Bible and the pursuit of justice -- Black and proud: the Bible and Black identity -- What shall we do with this rage?: the Bible and Black anger -- The freedom of the slaves: Pennington's triumph -- Conclusion: An exercise in hope -- Bonus track: Further notes on the development of Black ecclesial interpretation.
Reading Scripture from the perspective of Black church tradition can help us connect with a rich faith history and address the urgent issues of our times. Demonstrating an ongoing conversation between the collective Black experience and the Bible, New Testament scholar Esau McCaulley shares a personal and scholarly testament to the power and hope of Black biblical interpretation. -- Publisher's description.
