Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Luke Bretherton has written a solid textbook on political theology. He refreshingly explicates a range of historical and contemporary political theologies (humanitarianism, black power, Catholic social teaching, Pentecostalism, Anglicanism) as he makes a case for democratic politics as a work of love. Amid twenty-first-century political strife, Bretherton offers Christians a map for traversing the terrain.”
Women
“Hicks interrogates myths and cultural images that are used to denigrate single, African American, Christian Women (SAACW). Hicks breaks open the pain inflicted upon SAACW within the Black church by analyzing their firsthand accounts. As a pastoral theologian, she speaks compassionately to SAACW to embrace their single, sexual, spiritual selves. Concluding with a model for ministry based in a ‘Mary and Martha ethics of pastoral care,’ this book speaks to scholars and the church.”
Arts & Literature
“Hear the Spirit represents a significant bridge between Black religious scholarship and authentic church practice. Rev. Dr. Stewart has given us worship elements that are both theologically sophisticated and pastorally sensitive, prayers that honor our intellectual tradition while serving congregational life. This collection serves both the academy and the sanctuary with womanist wisdom.”
