Historic Negro Spirituals As Biblical Interpretation

In the 1960s, Dr. Christa K. Dixon's [1935-2003] work analyzing how the famous "Negro Spirituals" interpreted the Bible was published in German. Rediscovered and newly translated, Drs. Kim R. Harris and Daniel L. Smith-Christopher present Dixon's text, accompanied by two new essays as both modern critique and a long overdue appreciation of Dixon's pioneering study.
