Black theology tends to be a theology about no-body. Though one
might assume that black and womanist theology have already given
significant attention to the nature and meaning of black bodies as
a theological issue, this inquiry has primarily taken the form of a
focus on issues relating to liberation, treating the body in
abstract terms rather than focusing on the experiencing of a
material, fleshy reality. By focusing on the body as a physical
entity and not just a metaphorical one, Pinn offers a new approach
to theological thinking about race, gender, and sexuality.
According to Pinn, the body is of profound theological
importance. In this first text on black theology to take embodiment
as its starting point and its goal, Pinn interrogates the
traditional source materials for black theology, such as spirituals
and slave narratives, seeking to link them to materials such as
photography that highlight the theological importance of the body.
Employing a multidisciplinary approach spanning from the sociology
of the body and philosophy to anthropology and art history,
Embodiment and the New Shape of Black Theological Thought pushes
black theology to the next level.
