A Lynched Black Wall Street

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

Foreword

“Jerrolyn Eulinberg takes a fresh look at the historical data surrounding the Tulsa Race Massacre. . . . Using a Womanist interpretive lens and the religious ritual of lynching, she reexamines the details of the massacre to offer new insights on the theology, morality, and hate that mediated the razing of Greenwood while never losing sight of the communalism and resiliency of its residents.”

Black Theology—Essays on Gender Perspectives

Theology

“Dwight Hopkins' Black Theology: Essays on Gender Perspective is restorative gender justice at-work! . . . Reinterpreting the headline events that reveal the psychosocial vulnerability of Black men, he walks the reader through the traumas with the hope of restoring the dignity of Black manhood. While seeking to recover the degraded Black male body, Hopkins simultaneously advocates gender equality through redefining Black male heteronormativity as a liberating presence that does not diminish other gender identities.”

Doing Theology in Pandemics

Theology

“Zachary Moon has gathered an intercultural assembly of scholars-practitioners to reflect on the most significant health crisis affecting the planet in the last one hundred years. This is a crisis of unmeasurable grief due to the loss of life and quality of life. Because violence is a common response to threat, people around the globe need better ways of understanding and coping with the uncertainties of the future. These scholars agree: theological reflection on life’s meaning is the way forward.”

Postcolonial Images of Spiritual Care

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“A pastoral caregiver symbolizes the presence of a concerned and passionate God in times of celebration and crisis. If God, however, is viewed as a colonizer who victimizes and forces people into submission in the name of salvation, then the living soul is distorted by a victimizing God. Postcolonial Images of Spiritual Care encourages the symbolic Divine presence to be transformed from malevolence into liberating compassion by post-colonizing the Divine-human relationship.”
