Go Tell It on the Mountain (novel)

''Go Tell It on the Mountain'' is a 1953 semi-autobiographical novel by James Baldwin. It tells the story of John Grimes, an intelligent teenager in 1930's Harlem, and his relationship to his family and his church. The novel also reveals the back stories of John's mother, his biological father, and his violent, religious fanatic step-father, Gabriel Grimes. The novel focuses on the role of the Christian Church in the lives of African-Americans, as a negative source of repression and moral hypocrisy and also as a positive source of inspiration and community. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked ''Go Tell It on the Mountain'' 39th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. ''Time Magazine'' included the novel in its ''TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005''.
==References to other works==
Baldwin makes several references to the Bible in ''Go Tell It on the Mountain,'' most importantly to the story of Ham, Noah’s son who saw his father naked one day. Noah consequently cursed Ham’s son Canaan to become the servant of Noah’s other sons.
Baldwin refers to several other people and stories from the Bible, at one point alluding to the story of Moses leading the Jews out of Egypt, and drawing a parallel to that exodus and the need for a similar exodus for African-Americans out of their subservient role in which whites have kept them. John's wrestling with Elisha evokes the story of Jacob wrestling with a mysterious supernatural being in Genesis.
The rhythm and language of the story draw heavily on the language of the Bible, particularly of the King James translation. Many of the passages use the patterns of repetition identified by scholars such as Robert Alter and others as being characteristic of Biblical poetry.〔Robert Alter, ''The Art of Biblical Poetry'', Basic Books, 1987〕
