Through the Storm, Through the Night provides a lively overview of
the history of African American religion, beginning with the birth
of African Christianity amidst the Transatlantic slave trade, and
tracing the story through its growth in America. Noted author and
historian Paul Harvey illustrates how black Christian traditions
provided theological, institutional, and personal strategies for
cultural survival during bondage and into an era of partial
freedom. At the same time, Harvey covers the ongoing tug-of-war
between themes of "respectability" versus practices derived from an
African heritage; the adoption of Christianity by the majority of
African Americans; and the critique of the adoption of the "white
man's religion" from the eighteenth century to the present. The
book also covers internal cultural, gendered, and class divisions
in churches that attracted congregants of widely disparate
educational levels, incomes, and worship styles.
