Inner-City Blues

Theology

“Black Theology has two underdeveloped areas of study: black poverty and pneumatology. In this timely work, Adams brings together these two areas to provide clear theological analysis of the real legacy of slavery and racism: multigenerational poverty. Inner City Blues is long overdue, and readers will be grateful to be in Adam’s debt for bringing a piercing honesty to the seminal issue Black America faces.”
