Black Biblical Studies Methodology and Community Interlocution in Africana Hermeneutics
Black Biblical Studies Methodology is defined by a theoretical framework establishing "interlocution" between professional academic exegesis and community-based interpretive traditions derived from Africana hermeneutics. This discipline rejects the Eurocentric objectivity of historical criticism, positing that Blackness itself functions as an epistemic resource for liberation rather than merely a contextual variable. The core mechanism requires scholars to actively deconstruct patriarchal and racist textual legacies through intersectional analysis while engaging in communal dialogue with religious institutions.
