In her groundbreaking work, "You Must Be Born Again: Phillis Wheatley as Prophetic Poet," the author makes a compelling case that Phillis Wheatley holds a revered position as the pioneer of liberation theology. Through a meticulous examination of Wheatley's poetry and personal experiences, the author paints a vivid portrait that transcends the mere label of a poet. Wheatley is portrayed as a multifaceted individual, simultaneously embodying the roles of a poet and a visionary, engaging in a profound dialogue with God during the creative process. The author's lyrical interpretations unlock the profound spiritual impressions that reside within Wheatley's heart, revealing a profound connection to the divine.
Furthermore, the author delves into the racial dynamics of Wheatley's time, shedding light on the social, economic, and political contexts that shaped her life. As a preacher, Wheatley emerges as a fierce advocate against the immoral undercurrent that threatens the very foundations of her community, encompassing social, economic, and spiritual aspects as well as political systems. She tirelessly combats the injustices and inequalities that plague her society, advocating for a renewed sense of love and justice.
By calling for an immersion into a radical understanding of love and justice, the author positions Wheatley as a uniquely qualified voice to address the hypocrisy prevalent in her world and, by extension, contemporary society. Through her prophetic poetry, Wheatley offers a renewed hope for equality and a transformative pathway toward equity, inspiring generations to come.
