Episode 161: Amanda Mbuvi - Finding Ourselves in the Stories of the Bible

Experiencing God's Glory Lectionary Date: February 23, 2020 [Transfiguration Sunday, Year A] This week, Rachel and Tim are joined by Dr. Amanda Mbuvi, Assistant Professor of Religion at High Point University in High Point, NC. She holds a BA in Philosophy and Literary Theory from Bryn Mawr College, an MTS in Biblical Studies from Palmer Theological Seminary, and a PhD in Religion from Duke University—as well as a Certificate in Nonprofit Management, Duke University! She was drawn to the Hebrew Bible because of its vivid stories and rich language, and because of the way it connects the various streams of her identity, especially as for one who grew up Jewish in the Black church. Her work focuses on questions of identity and community, both in the Bible and in contemporary conversations about how we live with those texts and with each other. We commend to you her first book, Belonging in Genesis: Biblical Israel and the Politics of Identity Formation, which was recently published by Baylor University Press, as well as her blog: amandambuvi.com.

Exodus 24:12–18, with Amanda Mbuvi

Dr. Amanda Mbuvi (High Point University) thinks we've been misreading Genesis, especially when it comes to race. We assume the ancient stories share our modern conception of racial identity. When we look closer, we find something much more nuanced, fluid and perhaps helpful for us as we navigate racial inequity today. You can find even more on the topic from Dr. Mbuvi in her book, Belonging in Genesis.
