The Bible has profoundly influenced African Americans throughout history. From a variety of perspectives this wide-ranging book is the first to explore the Bible's role in the triumph of the black experience. Using the Bible as a foundation, African Americans shared religious beliefs, created their own music, and shaped the ultimate key to their freedom-literacy. Allen Callahan highlights the intersection of biblical images with African-American music, politics, religion, art, and literature. The author tells a moving story of a biblically informed African-American culture, identifying four major biblical images-Exile, Exodus, Ethiopia, and Emmanuel. He brings these themes to life in a unique African-American history that grows from the harsh experience of slavery into a rich culture that endures as one of the most important forces of twenty-first-century America. 606 $aAfrocentrism$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory 606 $aAfrican Americans$xReligion 615 0$aAfrocentrism$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xReligion. 676 $a220.089/96073 700 $aCallahan$b Allen Dwight$01476916 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bCaOLH 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778279503321 996 $aThe talking book$93691701 997 $aUNINA
