Description
Summary:'The Injustice of Noah's Curse' analyses 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.
