      ab: The article focuses on the ways in which American progressives have historically interpreted the Bible to support social reform movements, including abolitionism, women's suffrage, civil rights, and contemporary moral movements. It discusses how figures such as abolitionists and early feminists utilized biblical texts to construct an alternative narrative of justice and equality, often in response to societal despair. The text highlights the diverse interpretations of scripture among various groups, particularly emphasizing the roles of women and people of color in these movements. Additionally, it raises questions about the implications of biblical interpretation in contemporary social justice efforts and the ongoing relevance of these historical perspectives in today's moral discourse.
