Reading While Black: African American Biblical Interpretation as an Exercise in Hope | 
pickSo glad I read this! McCaulley makes a case for an African American method of Biblical interpretation. Each chapter looks at a different issue and related Biblical texts using this method/lens. I really appreciated his analysis & insights, offering new perspectives on familiar texts and sometimes giving voice to ideas I‘d thought about but had never studied further. His chapter on Black rage & Psalm 137 was especially insightful. Recommended!
“What made King special was an unshakeable faith, rooted in his belief in God‘s purposes, that racism did not have to be the final sentence in the book of the American story.”
