Womanist biblical hermeneutics also focus on the matter of the Bible’s authority as sacred canon and illustrate ways that Black women are suspicious about the Bible’s authority. Douglas underscores how biblical discourse is shaped by the complicated realities of the persons conducting them.

(Porteous & Machin, 2017)?" Research questions in qualitative research are linked to paradigms and research traditions within paradigms (Polit & Beck, 2017).
