This article presents two recent criticisms of Black theology, one political and one theological. To respond to these criticisms, it develops an account of Black theology with paradox at its heart. This constructive work occurs in dialogue with the early writings of James Cone. The article argues that the turn to contextualism in Cone's later work leads to the fruitful resources of his earlier work being overlooked, especially his use of paradox. With those resources, an account of Black theology that avoids the dangers of secularism can be formulated
