Bibliography (by time-stamp)
0:00 Intro
1:54 Council of Trent (1547)
This passage impacted my podcast and my whole argument for there’s nothing new under the sun. This was used to introduce where we started in the History of the church course and to direct the listeners to life in Europe. The back and forth regarding being for or against the Eucharist allowed me to see the difference between Calvin and Luther. Reformed vs. Lutheran. All of this was against the Catholic Church. I wonder why no one sat back and realized they essentially wanted the same thing. I guess we can deduce it to pride.
2:14 Munster. Prague Protest
This reading taught me about the peasant class in Germany and later on, I was able to connect peasant suppression with suppression of Africans from the early settlers of America. Upon first reading this passage it reminded me of the Black Lives Matter movement because people were more upset about the looters than people being killed on the street. I then take this point and mirror it to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
2:39 Randolph M. McLaughlin, The Birth of a Nation: A Study of Slavery in Seventeenth-Century Virginia, 16 Hastings Race & Poverty L.J. 1 (2019). Available at: repository.uchastings.edu/has...
This article was mentioned because it breaks down systematic laws that were put into place to justify slavery. I mentioned this article was used in totality but summarized so that the listener can be introduced to systematic oppression and how it has plagued our society for centuries.
5:46 Delores Williams, Black Women’s Surrogacy Experience and the Christian Notion of Redemption
Here I speak about coming into the full knowledge of my true social identity. My social identity was rooted in a European white savior complex. The reading by Williams on Coerced Surrogacy and Voluntary Surrogacy gave me language for my experience as a black woman in America. I then take this point and relate it back to there being nothing new under the sun because my experience is one that is repeated over and over in society.
7:00 J. Coert Rylaarsdam, The Layman’s Bible Commentary: The Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, The Song of Solomon, John Knox Press 1964
According to The Layman’s Bible Commentary, pg. 100-103, Ecclesiastes vss. 1-11 came from borrowed words from a philosopher by the name of Koheleth. He started out the poem expressing that nothing new will ever come out of this life and it actually just keeps repeating so what’s the point to try and figure out life’s meaning? He then moves away from this philosophy and introduces what life is like with God in vss. 12-26. This gave me great hope for humankind and that we have a chance to change it. We won’t be able to be agents of change if we aren’t given the full truth about our history as a nation-our history in the world.
9:20 Harriet Jacobs Church and Slavery from Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl

10:33 John Thornton-The Kongolese St. Anthony and Ziegengalg-34 conferences
We can learn things about God through other cultures. These readings were summarized. They were used because I was able to relate this to the early settlers of the Indigenous people’s land. They had no respect for the culture and religious practices already in place. While I do believe being a follower of Christ is The Way, I don’t agree with constant blindness to social identities and that’s basically what was happening with the missionaries going to other countries. The reading about the missionaries going to India and missionaries going to Africa is evidence that we don’t need to repeat what they did. There are ways we as Christians can have open hearts to diversity and that’s what I want to teach my children.
