The Black Church is an institution that emerged in rebellion
against injustice perpetrated upon black bodies. How is it, then,
that black women's oppression persists in black churches that
espouse theological and ethical commitments to justice? The book
engages the Chalcedonian Definition as the starting point for
exploring the body as a moral dilemma. It reveals how the body of
Christ has historically posed a problem for the church, and has
produced a Christian trajectory of violence that has resulted in
the breaking of the body of Christ. A survey of the black body as
an American problem provides the lens for understanding how the
theological problem of body has functioned as a social dilemma for
black people. An exploration of the black Social Gospel as the
primary theological trajectory that has approached the problem of
embodied difference reveals how body injustice, namely sexism,
functions behind the veil of race in black churches.
