Eboni Marshall Turman is Assistant Research Professor of Black Church Studies at Duke University Divinity School, USA.

"Groundbreaking. Challenging. Provocative. Constructive. Marshall Turman holds traditions and liberative frameworks in fine methodological tension. With the simple question 'How does Black women's oppression persistent under the guise of liberation in Black churches?' Marshall Turman has produced a compelling womanist incarnational ethic that stares down fragmentation and offers us the keys to a deeply enfleshed wholeness." - Emilie M. Townes, Dean and E.Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Professor of Womanist Ethics and Societ, Vanderbilt University Divinity School, USA
