Should Black People Trust The Bible? | Dr. Esau McCaulley

On this episode, Dr. Esau McCaulley discusses the question of whether black people should trust the Bible. He argues that rather than looking at individual passages in isolation, we should understand the overall narrative of the Bible as a story of liberation from slavery. He also discusses the tension between passages in the Bible that allow for slavery and the liberative narrative that runs throughout, arguing that the God of the Bible is a God of freedom who values the dignity and worth of all people.

Dr. McCaulley emphasizes that trust in the scriptures is a manifestation of our trust in God and that reading the Bible correctly should lead us to live like Jesus. He also touches on the issue of hypocrisy within the church and the importance of looking beyond the few negative examples to the faithful ministries of the majority.
