A Student’s Notes on Genesis

“Eleanor Rupp began teaching Bible at Bluefield High School in the 1960s. She was an educator and developed a course that was not only meaningful to students but also complied with US Supreme Court guidelines for teaching Bible in public schools. A Student's Notes on Genesis captures a part of the rich legacy she left at BHS, yet it challenges the reader to take up and continue her work.”

The Prophetic Lens

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“From a bridge in Selma to a backroad in Georgia to a street curb in Minneapolis, the camera has captured the truth of injustices against Black lives, from generation to generation. But perhaps until now, we've not dived deeply enough into the cultural, historical, and theological implications of the camera as an instrument of justice. In The Prophetic Lens, Phil Allen Jr. testifies to the power of the lens, through his own lens, as a Black man in America. Allen is an author and educator, but he's also a theologian and filmmaker. And it's in this creative collision and collaboration of varied vocations, alongside his own lived experiences, that Allen ushers forth a prophetic narrative that is timely, timeless, and true. Come to this work with ears to hear and eyes to see. In so doing, you will witness a truth teller in his element, guiding us to a justice that rolls like rivers and film reels, one movement at a time.”
