Theology

“Kate Hanch delivers an engaging and thoughtful reading of Elaw, Foote, and Truth. Embracing the mystical, pastoral, and prophetic elements of these Black women preachers, Hanch bravely defines them as theologians who drew on their bodily, cultural, and biblical knowledge to counter the narratives of white supremacist traditions subverting nineteenth-century Christian churches.”
