A truly excellent celebration of the Black exegetical tradition, one which takes the Scriptures seriously as liberative while also remaining alive to how the abuse of the Scriptures has led to the abuse of people. McCaulley plots a line that seeks to steer clear of traditional interpretations that support white supremacy, but also avoids the pitfalls of a liberal tradition (both Black and White) that denies the life and freedom-giving power of Scripture itself. He demonstrates this Black exegetical tradition through examining a Scriptural approach to the problem of policing, the legitimacy of protest, the reality of black rage, and the haunting spectre of slavery. In all of this McCaulley uses the text as the text, believing it to be both God's word and God's revelation of freedom and hope. McCaulley seeks to honour his ancestors who were present in the Scriptural story, and who saw the Bible as a testament to freedom when read and applied correctly.
