Butler (1947-2006) and applies this theory to the Lukan Parable of the Great Supper (Luke 14:15-24) to create a short narrative recontextualized reading of resistance. This book advances the scholarship on Octavia E. Butler by extracting from Butler's work a theory of reading biblical parables and adapts this theory and brings it into the discourse on parable theory; and this book advances the body of work on slavery and resistance to slavery in biblical texts. Furthermore, this book can serve as a resource for African American faith communities to unlearn the allegorical interpretation of biblical parables and to reappropriate scripture as a means to resist modern structures of oppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 134\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 11, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53808840114483,"sku":"9798337764832","price":50.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/fYonS0aN_49798337764832_4a775765-6eeb-4e9a-b522-eb3d2897790e.webp?v=1786092755","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-enslaved-at-the-banquet-a-womanist-reading-of-lukes-parable-of-the-great-supper-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
