Eight leading scholars have joined forces to give us the most
comprehensive book to date on the history of African-American
religion from the slavery period to the present. Beginning with
Albert Raboteau's essay on the importance of the story of Exodus
among African-American Christians and concluding with Clayborne
Carson's work on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s religious development,
this volume illuminates the fusion of African and Christian
traditions that has so uniquely contributed to American religious
development. Several common themes emerge: the critical importance
of African roots, the traumatic discontinuities of slavery, the
struggle for freedom within slavery and the subsequent experience
of discrimination, and the remarkable creativity of
African-American religious faith and practice. Together, these
essays enrich our understanding of both African-American life and
its part in the history of religion in America.
