In You Must Be Born Again: Phillis Wheatley as Prophetic Poet, the
author argues that Phillis Wheatley is the mother of liberation
theology. The author uses Wheatley's poetry and life experiences to
create a portrait of Wheatley beyond that of a poet. Wheatley is
described as both poet and visionary who wrestles with God during
the creative process. The lyrical expressions of Wheatley's poetry
unlock the spiritual impressions on her heart. The author sets up
the racial dynamics of Wheatley's time and her engagement with
those politics. As a preacher, Wheatley combats the immoral
undercurrent that erodes the community's social, economic, and
spiritual foundation as well as its political systems. The author
positions Wheatley as one uniquely qualified to address the
hypocrisy within her world and, by implication, present-day society
by calling for immersion into a radical understanding of love and
justice, resulting in a renewed hope for equality and a pathway
toward equity.
