At a time in which some within the African American community are questioning the place of the Christian faith in the struggle for justice, New Testament scholar McCaulley argues that reading Scripture from the perspective of Black church tradition is invaluable for connecting with a rich faith history and addressing the urgent issues of our times. He advocates for a model of interpretation that involves an ongoing conversation between the collective Black experience and the Bible, in which the particular questions coming out of Black communities are given pride of place and the Bible is given space to respond by affirming, challenging, and, at times, reshaping Black concerns. McCaulley demonstrates this model with studies on how Scripture speaks to topics often overlooked by white interpreters, such as ethnicity, political protest, policing, and slavery.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Esau McCaulley</note> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Theology</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Criticism and Interpretation</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Criticism, Interpretation, etc -- United States</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>African Americans Religion History</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">220.6089</classification> <classification authority="ddc">M479-E74</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780830854868</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14875/61.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14875/61.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071420.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
