In this episode, I interview Dr. Shively T. J. Smith to discuss her article in Womanist Interpretations of the Bible: Expanding the Discourse, “One More Time with Assata on My Mind: A Womanist Rereading of the Escape to Egypt (Matt 2:13-23) in Dialogue with an African American Woman Fugitive Narrative.” We discuss the ahistorical depictions of Egypt in art and literature, the Jewish diaspora in Egypt that shield Joseph, Mary, and Jesus in juxtaposition with the story of fugitive Assata Shakur.
