Mitzi J. Smith Livres

I Found God in Me is the first womanist biblical hermeneutics reader. In it readers have access, in one volume, to articles on womanist interpretative theories and theology as well as cutting-edge womanist readings of biblical texts by womanist biblical scholars. This book is an excellent resource for women of color, pastors, and seminarians interested in relevant readings of the biblical text, as well as scholars and teachers teaching courses in womanist biblical hermeneutics, feminist interpretation, African American hermeneutics, and biblical courses that value diversity and dialogue as crucial to excellent pedagogy.

Addressing contemporary social injustices, this book explores systemic oppression, police brutality, and gendered violence through the lens of sacred texts. Smith offers fresh, intersectional readings that connect these pressing issues to spiritual contexts, making the material accessible to both scholars and general readers. It serves as a call to consciousness for those interested in critical interpretations of sacred literature and advocates for justice and love within these discussions.
