In a pluralistic world where the tendency is to dismiss or silence
ethnic and racial differences, Africentric Approaches to Christian
Ministry: Strengthening Urban Congregations in African American
Communities offers invaluable insight into the ordering of urban
congregational life, Christian ministry, and urban missiology from
a worldview perspective that values the centrality of African
people. Theological leaders and framers of African American
religious studies, such as the following persons provide
provocative insight for theological reflection and praxis: Gayraud
Wilmore (The Black Church); J. Deotis Roberts (Africentric
Christianity); Katie Geneva Cannon (Diaspora Ethics); and Cain Hope
Fielder (New Testament Studies). The opening and closing chapters
by co-editors Ronald Edward Peters and Marsha Snulligan Haney
provide a critical knowledge base that frames Africentric
Approaches to Christian Ministry. In light of the rapidly changing
nature of Christianity globally (non-Western and non-European),
this is a significant study on African American religious
consciousness and urban praxis.
This anthology provides a coherent, interdisciplinary theoretical
base for students of African American religious studies and will
assist in the design of programs and courses for lay theological
education and training. To this end, the editor has assembled
material from Old and New Testament studies, theology, church
history, pastoral counseling, worship, and social action.
