reviewed We Have Been Believers: An African-American Systematic Theology on November 07, 2017 We Have Been Believers
A systematic theology that is written from the perspective of the questions that have arisen from the Black community through the experiences of oppression and slavery.
This was an enlightening read, especially for someone like me that is both white and privileged. Many of the chapters I thought offered interesting questions and insights on topics I have read many works on.
For instance, the chapter on the nature of humanity, reflected upon by a group that were told that they were sub-human offers profound insight. Or, the chapter on eschatology that looks to enacting hope rather than falling into a "pie in the sky approach" was really good.
