nate62 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I would like to request True to Our Native Land: An African American New Testament Commentary Publisher: Fortress Press Why: Does Accordance offer any modules of commentaries written by African Americans? This seems like a good, general place to start. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Mansfield Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I would like to request True to Our Native Land: An African American New Testament Commentary Publisher: Fortress Press Why: Does Accordance offer any modules of commentaries written by African Americans? This seems like a good, general place to start. I'm checking to see if we can get this title. We do have titles written by African Americans, but I don't have an exhaustive list because book info doesn't usually come with that kind of information. In addition to Frederick Douglass, mentioned above, check out other authors of African lineage, such as... Conrad Mbewe, Pastoral Preaching: Building a People for God Thabiti M. Anyabwile, The Faithful Preacher: Recapturing the Vision of Three Pioneering African-American Pastors Anthony J. Carter, Experiencing the Truth: Bringing the Reformation to the African-American Church Anthony B. Bradley, Liberating Black Theology: The Bible and the Black Experience in America Wil Gafney, Wisdom Commentary (Vol. 38): Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate62 Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 Thank you R. Mansfield and Mark Allison for your work in getting True to Our Native Land: An African American New Testament Commentary into Accordance! While I appreciate the links to works by Black authors and those of African lineage, my point was regarding commentaries. There are many excellent Bible commentaries written from Black perspectives, all strangely absent from Accordance. I mentioned the above resource as a starting point. Resources like the Acts commentary by Willie James Jennings in the Belief: A Theological Commentary on the Bible series by Westminster John Knox Press would be a second step. Again, thank you all for your contributions to this discussion! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
