Divine Revelation and Human Liberation

In this work, Harry H. Singleton seeks a new paradigm for revelation that pushes us beyond America's historical collaboration with Christian sponsored racism and the religious individual. He calls instead for a revelation that prevents the liberation imperative inherent in the Bible from being used to justify black dehumanization.
