Praise for Angela Parker's "If God Still Breathes, Why Can't I?" BRENDA SALTER McNEIL, author of "Becoming Brave: Finding the Courage to Pursue Racial Justice Now" “If God Still Breathes, Why Can’t I? brings a fresh perspective to the biblical text that makes it come alive with hope of liberation for all people. Dr. Angela Parker calls us past the superficial into a deep engagement with a contextual theology that is relevant and life-giving.” WILLIE JAMES JENNINGS, author of "After Whiteness: An Education in Belonging" “Dr. Parker’s powerful text adds greatly to a growing number of theologically rich antiracist and antisexist resources for addressing our current struggles. Now we have yet another weapon of righteousness.” MITZI J. SMITH, author of "Womanist Sass and Talk Back: (In)Justice, Intersectionality, and Biblical Interpretation" “This book invites readers to embrace justice and Black Lives Matter by taking them on a journey of personal re-membering and critical reflection toward a womanist consciousness.” JENNIFER HARVEY, author of "Dear White Christians: For Those Still Longing for Racial Reconciliation" “Dr. Parker calls with courage for us to release the white supremacist authoritarianism of inerrancy and infallibility. She invites with vision for us to journey into a living relationship with the Bible, one in which we need not—and, in fact, must not—leave our embodied experiences and identities behind.” Meet the Author Angela N. Parker is assistant professor of New Testament and Greek at Mercer University's McAfee School of Theology.
