Who were Jupiter Hammon, Lemuel Haynes and Daniel Alexander Payne?
And what do they have in common with Martin Luther King Jr., Howard
Thurman and James Cone? All of these were African American
Christian theologians, yet their theologies are, in many ways,
worlds apart. In this book, Thabiti Anyabwile offers a challenging
and provocative assessment of the history of African American
Christian theology, from its earliest beginnings to the present. He
argues trenchantly that the modern fruit of African American
theology has fallen far from the tree of its early predecessors. In
doing so, Anyabwile closely examines the theological commitments of
prominent African American theologians throughout American history.
Chapter by chapter, he traces what he sees as the theological
decline of African American theology from one generation to the
next, concluding with an unflinching examination of several
contemporary figures. Replete with primary texts and illustrations,
this book is a gold mine for any reader interested in the history
of African American Christianity. With a foreword by Mark Noll.
