True to Our Native Land, Second Edition: An African American New Testament Commentary

True to Our Native Land is a pioneering commentary on the New Testament that sets biblical interpretation firmly in the context of African American experience and concern.

In this second edition, 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.

"True to Our Native Land is a must-read book for every student of the New Testament. All chapters in this remarkable book center African American experiences in the process of interpretation. It is an exceptionally comprehensive project that covers not only a wide range of topics related to African American biblical interpretation in the first part but also every book of the New Testament in the second part. This book is one of the most important contributions to New Testament scholarship today."—Ekaputra Tupamahu, assistant professor of New Testament, Portland Seminary, and author of Contesting Languages: Heteroglossia and the Politics of Language in the Early Church
