Practicing Midrash

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Tim Moore’s book . . . is a timely and welcomed resource. He cogently and carefully explains the disparate positions that sit side by side on the pages of the Bible and by helping us to engage in midrash, he makes space for us to hold these texts in tension and to resist the tendency to harmonize them. I hope that this text will . . . help us all to see that our Lord is much larger than the narrow theological perspectives into which we far too often seek to force our God.”

The Shaping of Black Identities

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Kudos to Jimmie Hawkins, who has done it again. Like his first book, Unbroken and Unbowed , that offered a necessary history of African American movements of resistance and liberation, this book provides requisite insight into the evolution of African American culture and identity. With the careful analysis of a historian of religion and the commitment to understanding shifts in African American identity of a justice practitioner, Hawkins reminds us not only how identity has shifted but also why it matters. Further, while many talk about what Black people think, this book explodes the mythology of an essentialist monolithic view of Black thought and explores the various contextual contingencies that shape Black reality throughout several generations. I highly recommend this book to all who wish to understand the changing complexities of Black identity and the significance of its responsiveness to the concerns of each historical moment.”
