- Abstract
- The tradition of inherited land possession is as old as the biblical story. African Americans are losing their heirs' property on John's Island at an alarming rate. The story of Naboth's vinyard (I Kings 21) serves as a model to discuss the effects that wealth and those with social power have on this land loss. The author uses articles, reports, and books on the history of African Americans in the gullah culture provides a biblical understanding of land possession, and challenges the church to practice faithful Christian stewardship in order to reverse this land loss.
