"This essay argues that there are deep religio-cultural factors that underpin the varied ways in which many communities read and interpret the Bible. In this essay, I argue that by using a hermeneutical tool that is termed a 'A Black religio-cultural approach,' one can assist faith communities, in this case, African Caribbean communities in Britain, to have greater cognisance of the reasons why they interpret the Bible and particular sections of it in certain, distinctive ways."
