The beginnings of Black Theology- The late 1960s witnessed tumult
over the Vietnam War, the deaths of Malcolm X and Martin Luther
King Jr., rioting by African Americans in major U.S. cities, and
the rise of the Black Power Movement. At the same time there
emerged, even amid serious controversy in the black churches, black
liberation theology and its radical critique not only of white
power structures but of historic Christianity itself. This classic
volume, a gathering of essays from a pivotal conference of black
churchmen, ethicists, and theologians at Georgetown University in
1969, reflects the urgency, contention, and energy of that time.
Debating black consciousness, pride, power, and liberation in
relation to Christianity, the chapters of this volume speak of and
to the pain and possibility experienced by African Americans at the
time, as well as to the deep divisions-and deep faith-within the
black churches of the day. James J. Gardiner, s.a., is Director of
the Graymoor Spiritual Life Center in Garrison, New York. J. Deotis
Roberts, Sr., a pioneer of Black Theology, is Professor of Religion
Emeritus at Howard University Divinity School. Among his many works
are Liberation and Reconciliation: A Black Theology (1971, 2004)
and Bonhoeffer and King: Speaking Truth to Power (2005).
