The Decline of African American Theology Empty
PostSubject: The Decline of African American Theology   The Decline of African American Theology EmptyWed Jul 09, 2008 5:30 pm

What's up, fam?

I just received my copy of Rev. Thabiti Anyabwile's "The Decline of African American Theology" and I must say that it is a very interesting read, to say the least.

The subtitle of this book is "From Biblical Faith to Cultural Captivity."

Much of early African American theology is difficult to pinpoint because of the lack of written theological works. However, in this book, Anyabwile takes a look at several other sources that will help the reader get a good understanding of the deep theological understanding of early African American theologians/preachers such as Bishop Daniel Alexander Payne, Lemuel Haynes and Jupiter Hammon (who was a slave all his life and was the first African American to have a published work).

I'm just diving into the first few chapters, and I'm excited to move forward as he brings it full circle to today's contemporary Black teachers.

I usually don't recommend books until I've read them entirely, but I do suggest this book for those who wish to see reformation within the current Black Church.

Grace and Peace
