For black people in America, Christian formation historically has
come at a steep price--alienation from, even shame for, their
African past. This alienation is primarily rooted in the acceptance
of two orthodox Christian doctrines: the doctrines of original sin
and Jesus Christ as exclusive savior. This work is concerned with
the way Black Christian formation, because of the acceptance of
universal, absolute, and exclusive Christian doctrines, seems to
justify and even encourage anti-African sentiment. Clark seeks to
address this problem by constructing a doctrine of the ancestors in
an effort to legitimize indigenous African religious categories and
offer an alternative theological anthropology for the future of
Black theology.
