Hello Joel. Oh Esau McCaulley came out with another book--yay!!

I used his Reading While Black [the Bible] as part of my capstone showing the strong similarities between Quaker theology and Black Ecclesial Theology.

Thank you for all of these GREAT book reviews!

I’m delighted you enjoy them! I bet you’ll enjoy this book. It’s rich. And I could only get in so much here; there’s so much more. It’s a great read.

This sounds like an amazing memoir. I enjoyed Reading While Black and remember him having a thoughtful and reasoned writing style. I can only imagine the depth he would bring to a personal narrative, will put this one on my list to read.

Does he say anything about his last name origins?

No, just his first. Though, as I mention, he does explore his family history back as far as his great grandparents.
