Black Theology—Essays on Global Perspectives

Theology

“Black Theology reflects the tremendous breadth and depth of issues that Dwight N. Hopkins has been committed to throughout his accomplished career as a scholar, griot, activist, father, brother, and son. Hopkins represents Black American theology at its best--fierce and hopeful, reflective and expansive, centered and global. This select collection of his essays is deeply contextual, intergenerational, material, and spiritual. His is a stirring testament to the power of progressive theological witness, grounded in the experience of America's communities of Blackness, giving expression to that which is universally human and life-giving.”

Lent of Liberation

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“The enslavement of African peoples in the United States and our continued carceral reality are the vital subject matter of these Lenten devotional materials. We owe a debt of gratitude to Cheri Mills for this impassioned resource on the Black-led freedom struggle against social death and on just calls for reparations.”

The Hip-Hop Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“The black church and hip-hop are the two greatest repositories of our culture. . . . The time is right for the two to be joined. . . . The gospel ministries and work artfully described in this volume by Efrem Smith and Phil Jackson . . . are successful, exciting and real. In preaching, music, worship, counseling, social analysis and more these congregations offer vibrant insights that may transform the values, beliefs and traditions of hip-hop America--and enrich us all. What these two churches have done, other churches can do. . . . Here is to a new movement in black and multiracial America--the hip-hop church--keepin' it real and keepin' it right.”

The Homebrewed Christianity Guide to Church History

History & Biography

“Bill Leonard's Homebrewed Christianity Guide to Church History is a concise and wonderfully written guide to reflecting on the legacy of Christianity, written by a man of ethical conviction and scholarly range. Slightly intoxicating and not a little irreverent, this book is highly recommended for teetotalers, social drinkers and everyone in between!”
