Luke, Widows, Judges, and Stereotypes

Discover a transformative perspective in Luke, Widows, Judges, and Stereotypes by Febbie C. Dickerson, published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc in 2019. This insightful hardback, spanning 238 pages, offers a womanist interpretation of Luke 18:2–5, where Dickerson re-examines the roles of the widow and the judge through the lens of stereotypical representations of African American women and men.
