Vincent W. Lloyd

Religion of the Field Negro

On Black Secularism and Black Theology

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing together insights from black cultural studies and secularism studies, this book reinvigorates the field of black theology. It argues that black theology can best support the racial justice struggles of today by fully embracing both blackness (as opposed to multiculturalism) and theology (as opposed to religious diversity).
