Download or read book In The Company Of Black Men written by Craig Steven Wilder and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2002-02-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traces the development of African-American community traditions over three centuries From the subaltern assemblies of the enslaved in colonial New York City to the benevolent New York African Society of the early national era to the formation of the African Blood Brotherhood in twentieth century Harlem, voluntary associations have been a fixture of African-American communities. In the Company of Black Men examines New York City over three centuries to show that enslaved Africans provided the institutional foundation upon which African-American religious, political, and social culture could flourish. Arguing that the universality of the voluntary tradition in African-American communities has its basis in collectivism—a behavioral and rhetorical tendency to privilege the group over the individual—it explores the institutions that arose as enslaved Africans exploited the potential for group action and mass resistance. Craig Steven Wilder’s research is particularly exciting in its assertion that Africans entered the Americas equipped with intellectual traditions and sociological models that facilitated a communitarian response to oppression. Presenting a dramatic shift from previous work which has viewed African-American male associations as derivative and imitative of white male counterparts, In the Company of Black Men provides a ground-breaking template for investigating antebellum black institutions.
Download or read book The Black Church in Conflict written by Edward Bland and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Black Church is a very unique institution in American society. It is obvious in ways other than the complexion of its parishioners. Part of that uniqueness remains hidden, only to be found in the burdens of its people. Being unique many of its goals and purposes are different from that of other churches. A uniqueness that can only be explained by what the Black Church was forced to endure. And yet what it had to endure in the past forced the members of the Black Church to pray as never before. Consequently that's what made the Black Church such a powerful institution in America. In the writing of this book assistance has come from many sources and in many forms. The writer of history, above all others, can hardly be unaware of his debt to the pilgrims and pioneers of previous scholarship. He also recognizes, with increasing uneasiness, his inability to repay or even adequately acknowledge that debt. Gratitude must be expressed to Myra Selby, my secretary, who was very patient with me. Gratitude should also be given to the Fifth Avenue Library ( the largest in the world) for its generous provisions of research facilities, and to Pastor David Butler (founder and director of the Contemporary Gospel Ensemble) and pastor of the Fullness Of Joy Church; whose acute knowledge of the history of the Black Church has enabled me to give to the reader an accurate account of certain events which took place during the founding and the organizing of the Black Church. Special thanks should also be given to Reverend Clarence Sexton, pastor of Mount Sinai Holy Church Of God In Christ, located in Brooklyn, N.Y. for graciously giving of his time and also for giving helpful criticism and advise in the construction of this book. Though the sentiments of this book may not be his, he still encouraged in writing which I feel was inspired by the Lord. I am not implying that these words are the words of the Lord, but it was through His inspiration that this book was written. At no time was it my intention to merely criticize or to pass judgment on the Black Church, the church in which I came to know the Lord as my personal Saviour. This book for the most part is controversial. This was done purposely to invoke thought. In the rear of the book is a glossary section. The glossary I attempted to explain, define and give meaning to many of the phrases and words used in this book. In several instances throughout the book I purposely reframed from giving my exact views so that by my leaving certain questions unanswered the reader would be forced to further examine these issues and form their own opinions. I hope that this book will not only be informative, but interesting and entertaining as well.

Download or read book A History of the Black Baptist Church written by Wayne E Croft and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The history of black people in the United States is a history of challenge and resilience, of suffering and solidarity, of injustice and prophetic resistance. It is a history steeped in the hope and strength that African Americans have derived from their faith in God and from the church that provided safety, community, consolation, and empowerment. In this new volume from pastor and scholar Rev. Dr. Wayne Croft, the history of the black Baptist church unfolds-from its theological roots in the Radical Reformation of Europe and North America, to the hush arbors and praise houses of slavery's invisible institution, to the evolution of distinctively black denominations. In a wonderfully readable narrative style, the author relates the development of diverse black Baptist associations and conventions, from the eighteenth century through the twentieth century's civil rights movement. Ideal for clergy and laity alike, the book highlights key leaders, theological concepts, historic events, and social concerns that influenced the growth of what we know today as the diverse black Baptist family of churches"--

Download or read book The Divided Mind of the Black Church written by Raphael G. Warnock and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revealing look at the identity and mission of the Black church What is the true nature and mission of the church? Is its proper Christian purpose to save souls, or to transform the social order? This question is especially fraught when the church is one built by an enslaved people and formed, from its beginning, at the center of an oppressed community’s fight for personhood and freedom. Such is the central tension in the identity and mission of the Black church in the United States. For decades the Black church and Black theology have held each other at arm’s length. Black theology has emphasized the role of Christian faith in addressing racism and other forms of oppression, arguing that Jesus urged his disciples to seek the freedom of all peoples. Meanwhile, the Black church, even when focused on social concerns, has often emphasized personal piety rather than social protest. With the rising influence of white evangelicalism, biblical fundamentalism, and the prosperity gospel, the divide has become even more pronounced. In The Divided Mind of the Black Church, Raphael G. Warnock, Senior Pastor of the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, the spiritual home of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., traces the historical significance of the rise and development of Black theology as an important conversation partner for the Black church. Calling for honest dialogue between Black and womanist theologians and Black pastors, this fresh theological treatment demands a new look at the church’s essential mission.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of African American Theology written by Katie G. Cannon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named an Honor Book for Nonfiction by the Black Caucus of the American Library Association African American theology has a long and important history. With modern roots in the civil rights movements of the 1960s, African American theology has gone beyond issues of justice and social transformation to participate in broader dialogues of theological inquiry. The Oxford Handbook of African American Theology brings together leading scholars in the field to offer a critical and comprehensive analysis of this theological tradition in its many forms and contexts. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this Oxford Handbook examines the nature, structures, and functions of African American Theology. The volume surveys the field by highlighting its sources, doctrines, internal debates, current challenges, and future prospects in order to present key topics related to the wider palette of Black Religion in a sustained scholarly format. This formative collection presents current scholarship on African American Theology and scripture, eschatology, Christology, womanist theology, sexuality, ontology, the global economy, and much more. The contributors represent a diverse set of faith perspectives, adding to the layered discourses within the volume. These essays further important discussions on the pressing debates and challenges that shape black and womanist theologies.
