'What is this about colours in theology? Surely there is only one
true theology - that revealed by God in the Bible And why on earth
would you want a Black theology anyway?' - Emmanuel Lartey, Senior
Lecturer in Pastoral Theology, University of Birmingham. Black
theology as a self-named discipline and a radical form of Christian
practice emerged in its present form in 1960s, in the USA. It has
grown out of the experiences of Black people of the African
Diaspora as they have sought to re-interpret the central ideas of
Christianity in light of their experiences. But Black theology is
not simply a North American affair. If Black theology can be
defined as the radical re-interpretation of the revelation of God
in Christ, in light of the struggles and suffering of Black
existence in order that de-humanised and oppressed Black people
might see in God the basis for their liberation; then there has
been a form of Black theology in operation in Britain since the
epoch of slavery. It is therefore, most timely that this seminal
volume should come to fruition in 2007. 2007 marks the 200th
anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in Britain.
Although there has been a Black presence in Britain since Roman
times, the often troubled existence of Black people in Britain can
be traced to the Elizabethan era and the influx of Black slaves
from Africa and the Americas. This text seeks to outline the
development of Black theology in Britain from 18th century through
to our contemporary era. By means of re-investigating popular texts
and previously unpublished groundbreaking material, the editors
offer a comprehensive and challenging interpretation of the
development of an eclectic and distinctive voice that is Black
theology in Britain.
