Examines the spiritual and earthly results of conversion to Christianity for African American antebellum writers. Using autobiographical narratives, the book shows how Black writers transformed the earthly hell of slavery into a "New Jerusalem," a place they could call home. These stories by five of the earliest antebellum spiritual writers--George White, John Jea, David Smith, Solomon Bayley, and Zilpha Elaw--create a new religious language that merges Christian scripture with distinct retellings of biblical stories.
