Description

When the beliefs of Barack Obama’s former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, assumed the spotlight all through the 2008 presidential campaign, the influence of black liberation theology became hotly debated not just within theological circles but across cultural lines. How many of lately’s African-American congregations-and how many Americans in general-have been shaped by its view of blacks as perpetual sufferers of white oppression?

On this interdisciplinary, biblical critique of the black experience in The us, Anthony Bradley introduces audiences to black liberation theology and its spiritual and social have an effect on. He starts with James Cone’s proposition that the “victim” way of thinking is inherent within black consciousness. Bradley then explores how such biblical misinterpretation has historically hindered black churches in addressing the diverse issues of their communities and prevented adherents from experiencing the freedoms of the gospel. Yet Liberating Black Theology does more than believe the ramifications of this belief system; it suggests an alternate approach to the black experience that may really liberate all Christ-followers.
