Eerdmans
Part memoir and part biblical exegesis, this small book packs a powerful punch. Angela Parker argues that the doctrines of inerrancy and infallibility have distorted the Bible into an idol and engrained White supremacist authoritarianism into our interpretative traditions. She challenges marginalized people to abandon these doctrines, which often lead to gaslighting, shaming, and microaggressions. A skilled teacher, Parker embodies womanist hermeneutics by sharing her own struggles and lenses in a way that invites conversation. She offers insights into the women witnessing the crucifixion (Mark 15), a poignant reading of Paul’s pleading with the Galatians to bear one another’s burdens (Gal. 6:2), and plenty of other bursts of air to inspire all who claim the Bible as a living, God-breathed word.
