{"product_id":"9780802867131","title":"Race and Rhyme","description":"\u003cp\u003eA leading womanist biblical scholar reads passages from the New Testament in dialogue with modern-day issues of racial justice.   The  narratives and letters of the New Testament emerged from a particular  set of historical contexts that differ from today's, but they resonate  with us because of how the issues they raise \"rhyme\" with subjects of  contemporary relevance. Listening for these echoes of the present in the  past, Love Sechrest utilises her cultural experience and her  perspective as a Black woman scholar to reassess passages in the New  Testament that deal with intergroup conflict, ethnoracial tension, and  power dynamics between dominant and minoritised groups.   After  providing an overview of womanist biblical interpretation and related  terminology, Sechrest utilises an approach she calls \"associative  hermeneutics\" to place select New Testament texts in dialogue with  modern-day issues of racial justice. Topics include:    antiracist allyship and Jesus's interaction with marginalised individuals in the Gospel of Matthew cultural assimilation and Jesus's teachings about family and acceptance in the Gospel of Luke gendered stereotypes and the story of the Samaritan woman in the Gospel of John the  experience of Black women and girls in the American criminal justice  system and the woman accused of adultery in the Gospel of John group identity and the incorporation of Gentiles into the early Jesus movement in Acts privilege and Paul's claims to apostolic authority in 2 Corinthians coalition-building between diverse groups and the discussion of unity in Ephesians government's role in providing social welfare and early Christians' relationship to the Roman Empire in Romans and Revelation\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EERDMANS ACADEMIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52043907957010,"sku":"9780802867131","price":64.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9780802867131.jpg?v=1774736011","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9780802867131","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
