Crucified in the Cotton

In her 72nd book Dr. Tonya Gipson Miller uncovers the profound theological insights that emerged from America's cotton fields. Beyond their economic significance these blood-soaked soils became sacred ground where a powerful understanding of God developed through suffering. Dr. Miller reveals how wilderness theology-expressed through spirituals secret worship and acts of resistance-speaks prophetically to contemporary struggles for justice. This groundbreaking work argues that we cannot fully comprehend Christ's redemptive blood without confronting the blood spilled in these fields challenging readers to see this painful history not just as trauma but as a site of divine revelation where resurrection continues to take root.
