Reading While Black: African American Biblical Interpretation as an Exercise in Hope by Esau McCaulley

5.0

“God’s terrible power to judge makes me long for everyone to take advantage of God’s offer of forgiveness. Christian eschatology breeds compassion.”

Esau McCuaulley has written the book we need today. I have been moved and challenged by every page of Reading While Black: African American Biblical Interpretation as an Exercise in Hope and would highly recommend this book.
McCaulley’s scholarship is sound, the interweaving of personal narrative is natural and important. He powerfully presents a “Jesus hermeneutic” of reading Scripture through the eyes of minority, vulnerable and oppressed eyes.
