The letters of Paul--especially the verse in Ephesians directing slaves to obey their masters--played an enormous role in promoting slavery and justifying it as a Christian practice. Yet despite this reality African Americans throughout history still utilized Paul extensively in their own work to protest and resist oppression, responding to his theology and teachings in numerous--often starkly divergent and liberative--ways.

In the first book of its kind, Lisa Bowens takes a historical, theological, and biblical approach to explore interpretations of Paul within African American communities over the past few centuries. She surveys a wealth of primary sources from the early 1700s to the mid-twentieth century, including sermons, conversion stories, slave petitions, and autobiographies of ex-slaves, many of which introduce readers to previously unknown names in the history of New Testament interpretation. Along with their hermeneutical value, these texts also provide fresh documentation of Black religious life through wide swaths of American history. African American Readings of Paul promises to change the landscape of Pauline studies and fill an important gap in the rising field of reception history.

Great toilet paper but it needs to be individually wrapped
Size: 24 Double Rolls (2 Ply)
This toilet paper is soft and comfortable. I have tried different brands of bamboo toilet paper and a lot of them are too rough or sometimes they can leave lint behind (although the lint in general is not as bad compared to regular toilet paper). This toilet paper doesn't leave lint behind and it isn't rough on my skin. Although they seem super thin, they absorb very well and I don't have to use as much toilet paper. Overall, the quality is good and they function great. There was another brand I was using, but they went up in price by a lot. I decided to give this one a try. This is a good value for bamboo toilet paper. However, I wish the toilet paper rolls were individually wrapped for hygienic purposes. It doesn't come in smaller packs inside the big pack like some brands may do. Once it's open, all 24 rolls are exposed.

Good TP
Size: 9 Mega Roll
Nice paper. It doesn't have lint like other papers. Fairly strong for natural TP. It is not economical for larger families though. I would buy it for a 2-3 person household. It's not super-soft, but it's doesn't feel cheap.
