Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mediating Black religious studies, spirituality studies, and liberation theology, Philip Butler explores what might happen if Black people in the United States merged technology and spirituality in their fight towards materializing liberating realities. The discussions shaping what it means for humans to exist with technology and as part of technology are already underway: transhumanism suggests that any use of technology to augment intellectual, psychological, or physical capability makes one transhuman. In an attempt to encourage Black people in the United States to become technological progenitors as a spiritual act, Butler asks whether anyone has ever been 'just' human? Butler then explores the implications of this question and its link to viewing the body as technology. Re-imagining incarnation as a relationship between vitality, biochemistry, and genetics, the book also takes a critical scientific approach to understanding the biological embodiment of Black spiritual practices. It shows how current and emerging technologies might align with the generative biological states of Black spiritualities in order to concretely disrupt and dismantle oppressive societal structures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the beliefs of Barack Obama's former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, assumed the spotlight during the 2008 presidential campaign, the influence of black liberation theology became hotly debated not just within theological circles but across cultural lines. How many of today's African-American congregations-and how many Americans in general-have been shaped by its view of blacks as perpetual victims of white oppression? In this interdisciplinary, biblical critique of the black experience in America, Anthony Bradley introduces audiences to black liberation theology and its spiritual and social impact. He starts with James Cone's proposition that the "victim" mind-set is inherent within black consciousness. Bradley then explores how such biblical misinterpretation has historically hindered black churches in addressing the diverse issues of their communities and prevented adherents from experiencing the freedoms of the gospel. Yet Liberating Black Theology does more than consider the ramifications of this belief system; it suggests an alternate approach to the black experience that can truly liberate all Christ-followers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses Black Theology, or Black Liberation Theology, relates to a religious viewpoint that arose amongst African-American seminarians and philosophers, individual black churches in the United States, and later in other areas of the world. Black theology aims to liberate non-white citizens from various types of political, societal, economic, and theological subjugation and sees Christian theology as a salvation theology: "a logical analysis of the being of God in the universe in the existential condition of the oppressed group, connecting the powers of liberation to the Gospel, which is Jesus Christ," Cone says. Black theology combines Christianity with civil rights concerns, especially those posed by the Black Power revolution and the Black Consciousness Movement. Current American origins in contemporary black theology can be traced back to July 31, 1966, when the ad hoc party of 51 clergies involved, dubbed the National Committee of Black Churchmen, purchased a full-page ad in The New York Times to print their "Black Power Declaration," which advocated a more aggressive approach to fighting injustice by using the Bible as an inspiration. Black Religion works mainly with the African-American culture in attempts to render Christianity possible for black citizens. Black religion is also differentiated from African theology on the African plateau. While not confined to the British background, the scholarly journal Black Theology, published by Anthony G. Reddie, was the gateway to the debate on black theology in Britain.

Book excerpt: A Common Journey provides the first comprehensive critical comparison of two of theology's most influential movements: Black theology in the United States (BTUSA) and Latin American liberation theology (LALT). The near-simultaneous emergence and growth of these two movements is only the most obvious of the similarities between them. More importantly, both have fostered a new theology from the perspective of the disenfranchised, the powerless, and the oppressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberation Theologies in the United States reveals how the critical use of religion can be utilized to challenge and combat oppression in America. In the nascent United States, religion often functioned as a justifier of oppression. Yet while religious discourse buttressed such oppressive activities as slavery and the destruction of native populations, oppressed communities have also made use of religion to critique and challenge this abuse. As Liberation Theologies in the United States demonstrates, this critical use of religion has often taken the form of liberation theologies, which use primarily Christian principles to address questions of social justice, including racism, poverty, and other types of oppression. Stacey M. Floyd-Thomas and Anthony B. Pinn have brought together a stellar group of liberation theology scholars to provide a synthetic introduction to the historical development, context, theory, and goals of a range of U.S.-born liberation theologies: Black Theology—Anthony B. Pinn Womanist Theology—Stacey M.

I highly recommend it."—Kwok Pui-lan, author of Postcolonial Imagination and Feminist Theology “A delight to read . . .
