Blues Hermeneutics and the Canaanite Woman

Today, I highlight the chapter written by Hugh R. Page Jr., Professor of Theology and Africana Studies at the University of Notre Dame: "The Matthean Jesus and the Canaanite Blues," featured in my edited volume, At the Intersection of Hermeneutics and Homiletics. Page's chapter is unique in how it brings blues music culture to bear on the Canaanite woman's experience, introducing a distinctive blues hermeneutic for the marginalized. Through this lens, her cry for justice and her profound faith are powerfully heard. #blueshermeneutics #Canaanitewoman #gospelofmatthew
