Stony the Road We Trod - by Cain Hope Felder (Paperback)

This groundbreaking collection of essays by black biblical scholars offers a fresh perspective on the Bible and its role in American black religion.

By combining sophisticated exegesis with special sensitivity to issues of race, class, and gender, these scholars examine the complex questions of biblical authority, black representation in biblical narratives, and the liberating aspects of Scripture.

The result is a reshaping and redefinition of the questions, concerns, and scholarship that determine how the Bible is appropriated by church, academy, and society today.

Whether you are a student of the Bible, a scholar of black religion, or simply someone interested in exploring the complex relationship between race and religion, this book will provide valuable insights and perspectives on the role of the Bible in American black culture.
