In this fascinating volume, Powery and Sadler explore how the Bible became a source of liberation for enslaved African Americans by analyzing its function in pre-Civil War freedom narratives. They explain the various ways in which enslaved African Americans interpreted the Bible and used it as a source for hope, empowerment, and literacy. The authors show that through their own engagement with the biblical text, enslaved African Americans found a liberating word. \u003ci\u003eThe Genesis of Liberation\u003c\/i\u003e recovers the early history of black biblical interpretation and will help to expand understandings of African American hermeneutics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 20, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42581738618976,"sku":"9780664230531","price":51.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/KzYzWUFTSFBxaEtPMHRxdE9ldVRVQT09.webp?v=1770897340","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-genesis-of-liberation-biblical-interpretation-in-the-antebellum-narratives-of-the-enslaved-paperback","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
