RST 264 - African American Biblical Interpretation

3 Credits
Offered alternate years in Spring
This course explores how African American Interpreters from the 18th Century till today have found in the Bible a source of hope and resilience. We encounter a wide variety of reading strategies that have undergirded antiracist activism, personal quests for holiness, and reform movements within the Church. Readings include Womanist perspectives and writings from Black Catholics. No background in Bible or African American History is presumed from students.
