5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for exploring who you are., July 10, 1998

By 

Natural Woman (York, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Soul Theology: The Heart of American Black Culture (Paperback)

Soul Theology causes you to think about what you believe and how your belief system influences everything you say and do. It is groundbreaking as it is a guide into the heart and soul of a people who have survived against the odds and continue to triumph. The definition of "core belief" has become the foundational piece for our health ministry. For we need to know what a healthy core belief is, to possess it, then use it as a point of reference in how we see ourselves in relationship to God and others. This book will be especially helpful for counselors who counsel persons who possess deep religious convictions. In general, it is an easy reading book for anyone interested in the subject matter.

5.0 out of 5 stars A ground breaking work and a must read., June 22, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Soul Theology: The Heart of American Black Culture (Paperback)

This book broke ground becaused it identified and demonstrated that certain African American core belief could uplift and heal. Soul Theology showed that what was positive and healthy in one culture could be of benefit to others. African Americans can be proud and others can be glad. I may have a small bias. Thank you for reading the book. Nicholas Cooper-Lewter, Ph.D. Expect to read about Black Grief and Soul Therapy in the future. Peace, Health and Soul.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful Description of the Theology of the Black Church, September 14, 2009

By 

Sherman Cox "SoulPreaching.Com Website Editor" (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Soul Theology: The Heart of American Black Culture (Paperback)

Length:: 2:34 Mins

The authors present a very helpful description of the theology of the Black church that will help preachers understand and make use of the rich heritage of the affirmations that have helped the African American people make it through what they have gone through.

All preachers should grab hold of this book and have it inform their preaching. Sherman Haywood Cox II provides a video review of this very helpful book in this video.
