| Summary: | This article studies the exegesis of the bible by Isabella, an early 18th-century enslaved woman in the Dutch colony Suriname, whom the Reformed minister Jan Willem Kals (1700-1781) discusses in his main work Neerlands hooft- en wortel-sonde as an example of his assertion that black people can be Christians too. According to the report by Kals, Isabella uses the New Testament story of the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26-39) and a passage in John 8, to both criticize her white fellow-Christians for their behavior and to position herself as a true Christian. |
