Womanist Biblical Scholar Reflections. Tuesday, May 29, 2012. The Trayvon Martin Tragedy and the Cooptation of Fear. Our right to (but decision not to) live in constant fear is co-opted when a white majority and/or those who aligned themselves with them pass laws allowing them to kill another human being because they feel. Links to this post. Thursday, May 10, 2012. An Old Ode Old to You who Want to Know. His is an old ode old to YOU who want to know or who imply. But I do not have to be gay to stand with.

Womanist Biblical Scholar Reflections. Monday, July 14, 2014. Detroit Shuts Off Water to Thousands of its Residents. How do we justify cutting off people's access to water at any time, but particularly when so many have lost their jobs or been subject to a decrease in pay during this latest economic recession or downturn, which we have yet to fully recover from? One would think that we are living in a two-thirds world country (where famines occur all too often and a history of colonizat. A network of str...

Womanist Biblical Scholar Reflections: March 2013

http://womanistntprof.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Womanist Biblical Scholar Reflections. Monday, March 25, 2013. And Does it Matter?

When some Christians read or heard about this discovery, their first reaction was, “what difference does it make? Dr King is careful to note that the papyrus does not explicitly say that Jesus was or was not married. We ought to know about our history, how it impacts the present, and...

Womanist Biblical Scholar Reflections. Sunday, April 15, 2012. You Are Not Your Breasts, Butt, Hair or Face. What do you EMBODY? Yesterday at the Breast Cancer Awareness luncheon at the Westin in Southfield, MI, I met beautiful, bubbly Mrs. Joiner (her and her husband started the Joiner Foundation in Illinois). Mrs. Joiner, an African American woman, had had a masectomy, and she is a survivor! I was stunned for a second; felt a quick jolt of fear, and then realized the power of the moment. Wow! Many wome...

Womanist Biblical Scholar Reflections. Sunday, October 7, 2012. You ask me why I smile when you tell me. You intend in coming national elections. To hold your nose and vote for the lesser of two evils. There are more than two evils out there, is one reason I smile. Another, is that our old buddy Nostradamus comes to mind. With his fearful 400 yr old prophecy that our world. And theirs too, our enemies, lots of kids included there. Will end by nuclear Nachbah? By holocaust, in our life time. Her eyes a sl...

Womanist Biblical Scholar Reflections. Friday, August 24, 2012. Unqualified Rape, Life and Choice. Recently Rev. Eva Melton Billingsley asked for a response on a Facebook post that read: “ If we use Todd Akin's logic then the thought of Bathsheba being raped is impossible because she got pregnant.

Womanist Biblical Scholar Reflections. Monday, July 9, 2012. Modern-day Sex Slavery and High Profile Predators. When a link is created between social status and ideas of familiarity, persons who attain to levels of social status based on positions of authority held in a society are considered as safer and less dangerous than persons of lower social status.
