Cornel West
This is a nice hefty collection of West's writings, published in 1999. Because West has continued to write, speak, and otherwise bring his considerable brilliance into the public square, it clearly is anything but an exhaustive collection. I sampled essays from all nine sections, and but really focused on sections I (Autobiographical Prelude), VI (Prophetic Christian Thought), VII (The Arts), and IX ("Chekhov, Coltrane and Democracy). Favourite quote:
"Despite the challenges presented by the widespread trivialization and dilution of the Christian gospel, I remain committed to its fundamental claim: To follow Jesus is to love your way through the darkness of the world. This love appears absurd - in fact pure folly in the face of much of the world's misery - and yet it yields indescribable levels of sorrow and joy, sadness and ecstasy."
