Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Cone wrote Black Theology and Black Power, he signaled to the world that the American black faith tradition would no longer recognize the confines of the church walls as the extent of its purview in society. Cone liberated the Gospel of Christ from its institutionalized forms, unhinging it from oppressive and racist power structures in American society and releasing it to do its work in the public sphere. Black Faith and Public Talk continues Cone's theme of power in the public realm and examines the economic, political, cultural, gender, and theological implications of black faith and black theology.
Download or read book Black Liberation Theology written by Kenneth Dantzler Corbin and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-11 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses Black Theology, or Black Liberation Theology, relates to a religious viewpoint that arose amongst African-American seminarians and philosophers, individual black churches in the United States, and later in other areas of the world. Black theology aims to liberate non-white citizens from various types of political, societal, economic, and theological subjugation and sees Christian theology as a salvation theology: "a logical analysis of the being of God in the universe in the existential condition of the oppressed group, connecting the powers of liberation to the Gospel, which is Jesus Christ," Cone says. Black theology combines Christianity with civil rights concerns, especially those posed by the Black Power revolution and the Black Consciousness Movement. Current American origins in contemporary black theology can be traced back to July 31, 1966, when the ad hoc party of 51 clergies involved, dubbed the National Committee of Black Churchmen, purchased a full-page ad in The New York Times to print their "Black Power Declaration," which advocated a more aggressive approach to fighting injustice by using the Bible as an inspiration. Black Religion works mainly with the African-American culture in attempts to render Christianity possible for black citizens. Black religion is also differentiated from African theology on the African plateau. While not confined to the British background, the scholarly journal Black Theology, published by Anthony G. Reddie, was the gateway to the debate on black theology in Britain.
Download or read book Liberating Black Theology written by Anthony B. Bradley and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2010-02-03 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the beliefs of Barack Obama's former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, assumed the spotlight during 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 today's African-American congregations-and how many Americans in general-have been shaped by its view of blacks as perpetual victims of white oppression? In this interdisciplinary, biblical critique of the black experience in America, Anthony Bradley introduces audiences to black liberation theology and its spiritual and social impact. He starts with James Cone's proposition that the "victim" mind-set 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 consider the ramifications of this belief system; it suggests an alternate approach to the black experience that can truly liberate all Christ-followers.
Download or read book A Black Theology of Liberation written by James H. Cone and published by Orbis Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the publication of his two early works, Black Theology & Black Power (1969) and A Black Theology of Liberation (1970), James Cone emerged as one of the most creative and provocative theological voices in North America. These books, which offered a searing indictment of white theology and society, introduced a radical reappraisal of the Christian message for our time. Combining the visions of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr., Cone radically reappraised Christianity from the perspective of the oppressed black community in North America. Forty years later, his work retains its original power, enhanced now by reflections on the evolution of his own thinking and of black theology and on the needs of the present moment.
