This book examines the relationship between race, religion, and
economics within the black church. The book features unheard voices
of individuals experiencing economic deprivation and the faith
communities who serve as their refuge. Thus, this project examines
the economic ethics of black churches in the rural South whose
congregants and broader communities have long struggled amidst
persistent poverty. Through a case study of communities in
Alabama's Black Belt, this book argues that if the economic ethic
of the Black Church remains accommodationist, it will continue to
become increasingly irrelevant to communities that experience
persistent poverty. Despite its historic role in combatting racial
oppression and social injustice, the Church has also perpetuated
ideologies that uncritically justify unjust social structures.
Wilson shows how the Church can shift the conversation and reality
of poverty by moving from a legacy of accommodationism and toward a
legacy of empowering liberating economic ethics.
