About
The examining of hope in the prayers and Spirituals of slaves and historical slave rebellions led by three slave preachers, Gabriel Prosser, Denmark Vesey, and Nat Turner, demonstrates the content of hope during slavery. This project concludes by analyzing the published sermons of two highly respected post-Civil War African American preachers; Daniel Alexander Payne, a bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church and John Jasper, pastor of Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church in Virginia in order to understand the role hope played in the preaching of each of these preachers. In this dissertation one will find that, historically, hope, in Black preaching, is far more complex than has been recognized in previous scholarship.
