African American Readings of Paul: Reception, Resistance, and TransformationThe letters of Paul especially the verse in Ephesians directing slaves to obey their masters played an enormous role in promoting slavery and justifying it as a Christian practice.

The letters of Paul--especially the verse in Ephesians directing slaves to obey their masters--played an enormous role in promoting slavery and justifying it as a Christian practice. Yet despite this reality African Americans throughout history still utilized Paul extensively in their own work to protest and resist oppression, responding to his theology and teachings in numerous--often starkly divergent and liberative--ways.

In the first book of its kind, Lisa Bowens takes a historical, theological, and biblical approach to explore interpretations of Paul within African American communities over the past few centuries. She surveys a wealth of primary sources from the early 1700s to the mid-twentieth century, including sermons, conversion stories, slave petitions, and autobiographies of ex-slaves, many of which introduce readers to previously unknown names in the history of New Testament interpretation. Along with their hermeneutical value, these texts also provide fresh documentation of Black religious life through wide swaths of American history. African American Readings of Paul promises to change the landscape of Pauline studies and fill an important gap in the rising field of reception history.

New favorite bra!
Size: 42G, Color: Black
I loveeeee this sheer bra. I have a large chest and often struggle to find supportive and lifting bras that don’t add bulk. I loved this so much I ordered 3 more. This actually is great for larger bust sizes. I was shocked.

Excellent but SIZE DOWN
Size: 36E, Color: Black
These bras are the best. Incredibly comfortable and an excellent price. However the sizing is way off. Im usually a 36G or even 36H in other brands. In this brand and style im 36E. Take note to size way down on the cups. Otherwise these are my fave new everyday bra for extra large, heavy-duty cans!
