The author of "You Must Be Born Again: Phillis Wheatley as Prophetic Poet" contends that Phillis Wheatley holds a pivotal position in the realm of liberation theology. Through an exploration of Wheatley's poetry and her personal experiences, the author endeavors to portray Wheatley as more than just a poet. Wheatley is portrayed as a poet and visionary who engages in a profound spiritual struggle with God during the creative process. The lyrical expressions in Wheatley's poetry reveal the profound spiritual impressions that have shaped her heart. The author delves into the racial dynamics of Wheatley's time and her involvement in the politics of her era. As a preacher, Wheatley confronts the immoral undercurrents that erode the community's social, economic, and spiritual foundations, as well as its political systems. The author positions Wheatley as uniquely qualified to address the hypocrisy within her world and, by extension, contemporary society by advocating for a radical understanding of love and justice, leading to a renewed hope for equality and a path toward equity.
