In this second edition of True to Our Native Land, the scholarship is cutting-edge, updated, and expanded to be in tune with African American culture, education, and churches. The book calls into question many canons of traditional biblical research and highlights the role of the Bible in African American history, accenting themes of ethnicity, class, slavery, and African heritage as these play a role in Christian Scripture and the Christian odyssey of an emancipated people.
"Here is an excellent biblical resource that bestows upon its readers, irrespective of their cultural creed or tribal commitment, the invaluable gift of encountering the Bible's timeless and timely witness anew with both head and heart."-Kenyatta R. Gilbert, dean and professor of homiletics, Howard University School of Divinity
