Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is a must-read for all pastors, historians, and seminarian students..." -- Richard Dryfess

From the Publisher

In the year 1888, Bishop Tanner declared, "the time has come for the Negro, and even all the colored people of the earth, to construct a theology for themselves." Less than a century later, James Cone would lay the first foundation in which to contruct a theology based on the Black experience. This book is a biography of that continuing process.

In the year of 1968, the godfather of soul performed a song that would become the national anthem awakening Black consciousness. "Say it loud I'm Black and I'm Poud," was the Great Black Awakening theme song. It is the combination of this motif and Christianity, that Cone would embark to explicate Black relgion in America
