| Summary: | Beyond Eurocentric biblical interpretation : reshaping racial and cultural lenses / Cain Hope Felder -- The New Testament of R & B / Stephanie B. Crowder -- Thurman, Johnson, Hendricks and the third quest / Thomas B. Slater -- Give me Jesus : salvation history in the spirituals / Mitzi J. Smith -- A black history celebration of Simon of Cyrene / Larry D. George -- Closing the Bible, voicing the body / Emerson Powery and Luke Powery -- Suppressed but not silenced : women and history in the Lukan resurrection narrative / Kenneth L. Waters, Sr. -- Empowering women in the Gospel of John : toward an Afro-Christian hermeneutic and methodological approach / Jamal-Dominique Hopkins -- Acts 1:8 re-examined : is Acts 8 its fulfillment? / Bertram L. Melbourne -- "Do you understand what you are reading?" : a literary critical reading of the Ethiopian (Kushite) episode / Abraham Smith. This collection of essays is an Afrocentric examination into the gospels and Jesus-studies by persons of African descent. The study encourages us to reassess our commonly held beliefs about biblical interpretation by offering us a fresh point of view and different cultural perspective than those that have been developed by traditional Eurocentric research. This work challenges our presuppositions about the Bible and biblical interpretation. (Publisher) |
