Beskrivning

By challenging some of the most cherished theological beliefs to emerge within black Christian communities, this text encourages us to extend the range of our religious world views and embrace black cultural expressions that have been ignored or despised. Anthony Pinn explores theological texts, preaching, folklore, spirituals, blues and rap to look at beliefs held within the African American community that contribute to the suffering of its members and to unleash a tradition of African American humanism.

Recensioner i media

"The book is thought-provoking, schematic, and theologically unsettling. Not since William R. Jones' Is God A White Racist? Has the theodical problem been so central to the critique of African-American theology and ethics." --Victor Anderson, Religious Studies Review, January 2002
