Publisher's Description
In African American culture, the church is instrumental in establishing and maintaining social order. Professor Paris shows that a study of black church teachings reveals black social ethics. These ethics aren't "abstract moral principles, but sociopolitical quests for liberation and freedom."

“Paris has made a significant contribution to our understanding of the black Christian tradition by describing the historical development of its black ethic and highlighting its fundamental principle, which enabled a people to survive, address difficult moral dilemmas, and strive for freedom and justice as Christians in America.”
“Paris includes all the elements to make this a paradigm for doing good Christian ethics: relevance of a set of moral dilemmas: authenticity and expertise: a constructive analysis; excellent communication.”
