Reading the Bible with D.L. Mayfield

June 22, 2020

Show Notes

In this episode, which I recorded with D.L. Mayfield at the beginning of May, we talk a little bit about her new book, The Myth of the American Dream: Reflections on Autonomy, Affluence, Safety, and Power (https://www.ivpress.com/the-myth-of-the-american-dream), and more about how those and other values might affect the way we read the bible. Listen to D.L. talk about her journey in decolonizing her bible reading, and go read her new book!

Note: I recorded the intro almost a couple weeks ago, so the things I reference happened at the beginning of June.
