Recensioner i media
'The Black Church Studies Reader adds breadth, depth, and clarity to a field of study within the theological curriculum and the teaching ministry of the church. The contributors represent a broad array of fields, but they are uniform in the quality of their credentials and in the scholarly contribution. We owe a debt of gratitude to all who have contributed to this seminal publication.' - Marvin Andrew McMickle, President and Professor of Church Leadership, Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School, USA 'This is a vital contribution to Black Church Studies and a must-have for the classroom. Pollard and Duncan have captured the essence of the Black Christian tradition in this celebration of the theological imagination and moral vision born at the interstices of bondage and freedom. The volume's interdisciplinary breadth is unparalleled in the field. The Black Church Studies Reader is a milestone text for anyone who is inspired and affirmed by the rich traditions of the Black Church.' - Eboni Marshall Turman, Assistant Research Professor of Theological Ethics and Black Church Studies and Director of the Office of Black Church Studies, Duke University, USA
