Yet with a Steady Beat

US scholars of religion consider such the topics as triennial tithes and the underdog, the role of ethnicity in the social location of 1 Corinthians 7:17-24, the Bible and models of liberation in the African American experience, laments from ancient Israel and the African American diaspora, a hermeneutical perspective on African American preaching, the characterization of Harriett Williams in Langston Hughes; Not Without Laughter, and the task of African American biblical hermeneutics. The 11 essays have been gleaned from a number of the Society's publications and meetings, and expanded and further developed for publication here. The anthology is not indexed.
