"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." [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR];
"This essay makes what may seem an obvious case: that authentic Black British God-talk needs to urgently engage with the diverse religious landscape of which it is a part. In the process, the essay seeks briefly to scrutinize past and present Black British theological discourse, explore the overtures with regard to engagement with multi-faith and interfaith issues and offer some tentative observations and practical suggestions on the way forward."
