Azusa Reimagined: A Radical Vision of Religious and Democratic Belonging
Lies above Suspicion: Being Human in Black Folk Tales— A Black Liberation Theologian Response
Teaching being human in global comparison
The current essay draws upon the author’s involvement and teaching experiences within a global network of international youth-student exchanges. The central question that is brought to the fore is: How does an educator teach the idea of being human among different nations situated in the same classroom? It therefore is polarized on the question of theological anthropology, and how these notions are received within cross-cultural exposure. The ess…

Another World is Possible: Spiritualities and Religions of Global Darker Peoples
"Another World is Possible: Spiritualities and Religions of Global Darker Peoples represents voices of darker skin peoples throughout the world. What they have in common is their mobilizing their own created religions and spiritualities to forge self-identities. Some claim direct links to centuries of indigenous spiritual practices which have survived relatively in tact despite the invasion of foreign religions. Others have appropriated externall…

Part One explores introductory questions such as: what have been the historical and social factors fostering a black theology, and what are some of the internal factors key to its growth? Part Two examines major doctrines which have been important for black theology in term…

The Last Testament of Martin Luther King Jr
This essay looks at Martin Luther King Jr.'s last will and testament, found in his final publication, The Trumpet of Conscience. The summation and new direction of his vision is divided into five chapters, each of which presents fresh and provocative developments in King's intellectual and faith journey. He truly had become a global citizen rooted in the everyday struggles of his community and that of the poor. The question remains: how do King's…
Alistair Kee, The Rise and Demise of Black Theology
A Black Theology of Liberation
This essay looks at the notion of culture as one of the foundational presuppositions for developing a future constructive theological anthropology based on African-American folk tales. Too often contemporary theologians, in general, and Black and Womanist theologians, in particular, assume an understanding of culture as given. But because theological anthropology emerges from a divine spirit of liberation revealing itself among the culture of the…
Transformative Pastoral Leadership in the Black Church
Loving the Body: Black Religious Studies and the Erotic
In this book, contributors argue that the Black Church must begin to address the significance of sexuality if it is to actually present liberation as a mode of existence that fully appreciates the bod
The Construction of the Black Male Body: Eroticism and Religion
The 1988 presidential elections pitted the Republican George Bush against the Democrat Michael Dukakis. Hoping to ensure a victory in the Fall elections, Bush drew on a tried and true formula from the U. S. cultural matrix and psychological reflex. In a vicious attack media advertisement, which proved quite successful, Bush drew heavily on then Massachusetts Governor Dukakis' apparent record of being soft on crime. The state of Massachusetts, und…

Has Religion Gone Global
Religions/Globalizations: Theories and Cases
For the majority of cultures around the world, religion permeates and informs everyday rituals of survival and hope. But religion also has served as the foundation for national differences, racial conflicts, class exploitation, and gender discrimination. Indeed, religious spirituality, having been transformed by contemporary economic and political events, remains both empowering and controversial. Religions/Globalizations examines the extent to w…

Globalization and black theology
Black theology, a pioneering liberation theology indigenous to the U.S., emerged in the global context of a world‐order shift, particularly after World War II—the second major violent conflict on European soil in the modern era. An array of domestic and international factors coalesced to launch black theology in the mid‐1960s. So too, have the emerging world order and related American developments posed novel problems and new possibilities for bl…
