The Slave Bible: A Tool for Oppression
This chapter investigates the Slave Bible, created in 1807, which was manipulated by slave masters to exclude passages that advocate for freedom and human dignity. It discusses the interpretive biases that affect how biblical texts are read, particularly highlighting the importance of ethical engagement and diverse viewpoints in understanding scripture. The chapter also explores the evolution of biblical interpretation from the early church to the Enlightenment, emphasizing the shift towards a more materialistic approach that overlooks deeper spiritual meanings.
