Contemporary Afrocentric Biblical Interpretation: the name suggests a conversation, a conversation among three strands of discourse not often linked together: biblical interpretation, contemporary and African American culture.In the end, I hope we leave not having solved the matter, but having spoken deeply; having thought broadly; and having wrestled with one another, with the living contemporary Bible and with what happens when we put African disaporic people, real people rather than ideal types, at the center of the discourse. Welcome to the conversation.
