Race, Racism, and the Biblical Narratives - On Use and Abuse of Sacred Scripture

Cain Hope Felder shows the ancient ambiguity in the Bible about what we call race. He uncovers misuses of the biblical text and shows how the Bible has been used to trivialize Black people in many ways. The book, a critical essay from Stony the Road We Trod, challenges readers to a more honest engagement with the biblical text.
