Many of these materials, designed to give the unique flavor of Verna Dozier's wit and wisdom, have never appeared before in print.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeginning with a short biography of Verna's life in order to place the writings in context, the book consists of six chapters organized both autobiographically and thematically. Beginning chapters cover her early life and family--her parents and sister, growing up African-American and Baptist in the segregated city of Washington DC, the influence of Howard Thurman and other theologians at Howard University, and her dual career, shaped by one set of values, teaching English literature and teaching the Bible. Subsequent chapters cover her approach and method of studying Scripture, teaching on Bible stories, her challenge to the church, and questions of ambiguity, morality, and faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fredrica Harris Thompsett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1596270233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596270237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seabury Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.12h x 6.14w x 0.45d","brand":"Fredrica Harris Thompsett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994291470591,"sku":"9781596270237","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21817080-f345-4f0f-8474-869f0d22dffd.jpg?v=1683329272","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/confronted-by-god-fredrica-harris-thompsett-9781596270237","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
