The Genealogical Vocation of the Theological Intellectual
This article explores three areas of David Daniels’s scholarship that engage the genealogical method: the Black roots of early US Pentecostalism, the Ethiopian influences of the Protestant Reformation, and the impact of Kongolese Christianity on the emergence and development of Black Christianity in the Americas. These three scholarly areas within Daniels’s work continue to be generative sites for research and writing for theologians and religiou…
Queering Azusa: Towards Pentecostal Fugitivity
How might a queer reading of the Azusa Street Revival of 1906 in Los Angeles, CA, help one engage with questions of anti-queer sentiment and practice, especially when assessing issues of gender and sexuality within contemporary Pentecostalisms? Drawing on my book Azusa Reimagined: A Radical Vision of Religious and Democratic Belonging, I suggest that Azusa can be interpreted in a queer register, which might assist Pentecostal communities when eng…
Rejoinder to Eva Spies
This is a response to two questions scholar Eva Spies raises around my presentation, namely for whom Azusa is a queer theological resource as well as if there are alternative registers for empowerment other than refusal
Religious Ethics and the Spirit of Undomesticated Dissent
The field of religious ethics contributes to practices of resistance and hope in broader society. In advancing my claim that religious ethics contributes to practices of resistance and hope today, I first tell a story about the changing demographics in the field of religious ethics and why this demographic shift is important. I next focus on womanist religious scholarship as an exemplary discourse in religious ethics and how it has contributed to…
The Politics of Azusa: Transforming Citizenship at the Margins
The Azusa Street revival of 1906 is one of the most important revivals in early Pentecostalism and offers resources in rethinking the Christian political imagination. I want to offer sustained reflection of this revival, as it resignifies the nature of what is political. I argue that Azusa embodied a non-statist idea of the citizen, encouraging radically inclusive practices of political belonging. Members of Azusa did not trust the institutional …
When White Is the “New Black”: Religious Populism in the Age of Obama
“I am Dark and Lovely”: Let the Shulammite Woman Speak
In this article, I not only interrogate black Pentecostal women’s complex engagement with their bodies through traditional ideas of holiness but also construct more liberative ways forward in thinking about sexual desire, sexual agency, and the celebration of black women’s flesh through engaging a scriptural resource, the Song of Songs. A part of the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Bible, Song of Songs introduces the reader to a woman who is “blac…
Religious Resistance to Neoliberalism: Womanist and Black Feminist Perspectives
Religious Resistance to Neoliberalism offers compelling and intersectional religious critiques of neoliberalism. Neoliberalism is the normative rationality of contemporary global capitalism that orders people to live by the generalized principle of competition in all social spheres of life. Keri Day asserts that neoliberalism and its moral orientations consequently breed radical distrust, lovelessness, disconnection, and alienation within society…
Stand Your Ground: Black Bodies and the Justice of God by Kelly Brown Douglas
The Colors of Christ in the Diaspora of Africana Religions
Staccato trumpet blasts, a lively guitar, and a beating drum introduce Roberto Angleró's “Si Dios Fuera Negro.” The lyrics then wonder how the world would be different with a Black God. “Si Dios fuera negro,” Angleró and his band Tierra Negro exclaim, “todo cambiaría.” If God were Black, all would be different politically, culturally, socially, and religiously. There would be a Black president and a Black governor. Chalk would be Black; Leonardo …
Black Theology by Anthony Reddie
Global Economics and US Public Policy: Human Liberation for the Global Poor
This article explores how Black liberation theologies can respond to chronic poverty experienced by communities of color around the world. This article argues that while Black liberation theologies have performed the theological task by rereading the Gospels from the margins of society, these theologies would do well to couple the theological task with a political task in offering practical guidance toward a preferable future for poor communities…
