![]() ![]() Here is no one Black tradition, but at least three streams: revolutionary/nationalistic, reformist/transformist, and conformist. African American pulpits have brought together all three. While not denying the liberative aspects, McCaulley points out that Black interpretation also includes conversionist and holiness aspects. He explains that most Christians think of Black biblical interpretation in the vein of Black liberation theology, as exemplified by James Cone. McCaulley advocates for what he calls a “Black ecclesial interpretation” of the Bible. As I read it, it stirred quite a lot in my own thinking as a Chinese American Christian (exiled in the UK). This is about something quite different: Esau McCaulley’s Reading While Black. For those who are used to my rantings, it is mainly around (Mainland) Chinese Christian theology or World Christianity. ![]()
