True to our native land : an African American New Testament commentary
Brian K. Blount (Editor), Cain Hope Felder (Editor), Clarice Jannette Martin (Editor), Emerson B. Powery (Editor)
From the intellectual heart of the African American churches comes a pathbreaking commentary that provides biblical interpretation grounded in African American experience and concern. Cutting-edge scholarship calls into question many of the canons of traditional biblical research and highlights the role of the Bible in African American history, accenting themes of ethnicity, class, slavery, and African heritage as these play a role in the Christian odyssey of an emancipated people. True to Our Native Land includes full-colour galleries that offer windows into African American art and Africa in the New Testament period
