C.S. Lewis's famous work on the nature of love divides love into
four categories: Affection, Friendship, Eros and Charity. The first
three are loves which come naturally to the human race. Charity,
however, the Gift-love of God, is divine in its source and
expression, and without the sweetening grace of this supernatural
love, the natural loves become distorted and even dangerous.
The roots of African American spirituality arise from the African
origins of the enslaved who were brought to the West in chains.
Flora Wilson Bridges explores these "African retentions" from their
manifestations in Africa, through their presence in the slave
communities of the American South and in Black churches today. The
unique spirituality that arose from these retentions influenced
many prominent black leaders including Howard Thurman, Martin
Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. In a fascinating chapter, Bridges
also shows how these African roots inform Black film, literature,
and art.
