Honors Contract Project: Reading While Black
This reflective paper looks at Esau McCaulley’s book, Reading While Black, which shows how the Bible addresses issues of injustice, identity, and hope from Black perspectives. McCaulley attacks the traditional white, Western interpretations of the Bible and highlights how Scripture supports liberation, dignity, and relevance for marginalized communities. His thoughts on topics like Black anger, systemic racism, and cultural identity changed how I view the Bible as both truthful and transformative. This book changed my understanding of faith and justice, encouraged me to embrace diverse theological viewpoints, and inspired me to read the Scripture more openly, compassionately, and with more hope.
