Beschreibung

The Injustice of Noah's Curse analyzes hundreds of interpretations of Noah's curse, towards an argument that they all fall short of making sense of this notoriously difficult passage due to a common presumption. Reed critiques the way this presumption inhibits interpreters from accepting what is obvious in the passage: Noah's curse is unjust. Using insights from critical race theory and speech act theory, the book offers a new interpretation of Noah's unjust curse as an ironic climax to Noah's life.
