This book is a worthy read. It was good enough that I had to cite it in my book: The Real Wakandas of Africa: Dr. John Henrik Clarke vs. Herman Cain. The real value in this book is how it shaped the perspective of many black churches in America. In fact, it should be mandatory reading for every leader of a black church. The author maps a framework that was considered to be cutting edge for the churches of his day. This author was impacted by leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. In fact, he has another book on these leaders. Surely, this book was influenced by his perspective on these two great black men. You’ll find this work provides both a home for black Christian thought and a framework for the worship of christianity in the black community. However, you might not agree with every idea. As with any work that attempts to forge a new ideology, a certain dogma can come along with that ideology. Indeed, this is needed in many arenas that impact black people. Nevertheless, this book is a classic and an important read. If you wish to understand more about ways in which to improve the black community through the church, this book is fundamental. It is a must read!

Clear meaning of Black theology and black power.

Format: Kindle

Characteristics and values fundamental to understanding these concepts are laid down in a manner that is unambiguously easy to understand. What the author prioritizes is to highlight the worthiness of being black and the importance of feeling proud that one is black, blackness here is confined within the boundaries defined by a black man himself, not by a white man. Knowing the characteristics of a true black man will inadvertently lead one to understand how black theology should be applied in revitalizing one's true calling in this world. People make people to be slaves or second class citizens, but what another man things of you is not your true calling. Very good book, I would recommend this book for any novice of advanced person seeking to understand his true calling, his being black (also white people can read it, it will help them rectify their mistakes or change their course in how they treat non-whites).

Powerful and unsettling.

Format: Kindle

This classic by James Cone is a challenge to anyone who thinks it is easy to be Christian in America. It should be read by all white people. The god of the bible is the god of oppressed people. Ask yourself who is oppressed in america. Follow that question to its logical conclusion and you will see why this book is a must read.

The Genesis of Black Theology

James Cone’s initial foray into the intentional development of a black theology ought be required reading for any serious Christian theologian. It challenges long-standing Christian claims by challenging not so much the claims themselves, but the racist presuppositions to those claims. The language is contextual, I suspect, offensive to many. But the language is effective in illuminating the racist presuppositions. Read with a critical eye, one can indeed find under-developed theological claims that could bear sharpened revision. But as with any first revolutionary theological work, the brilliance lies in the courageous and compelling insight that demands personal reflection and dare I say ... theological modification.
