“When the white man came to our country, he had a Bible and we had the land. The white man said to the black man, ‘Let us pray.’ After the prayer, the white man had the land and the black man had the Bible.” – Itumeleng J. Mosala, Biblical Hermeneutics and Black Theology in South Africa (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1989), 153.
