Revolutionary Theology: Black Power and James Hal Cone's Prophetic Vision for America: Black Critique
Autor Arnold L.en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 sep 2026
Author Arnold L. Farr explores Cone's life, writings, and his powerful vision of Black liberation theology, confirming their relevance for the fight against white supremacy today. Centered on the concepts of 'black consciousness' and 'black power' in theology and beyond, the book maps Cone's project as an attempt to overturn white supremacy in theology, the church, and in American society altogether.
Farr charts the origins and changes in Black liberation theology. He goes on to broaden Cone's insights and apply them towards developing a critical political theology for non-religious people – arguing that the liberation movement within religion, as demonstrated through the Black Radical Tradition, has much to contribute to the pursuit of social justice.

Recenzii
'A truly groundbreaking work! In combining the work of James Cone, his training in Western philosophy, and his personal experience of tragedy and triumph in the diasporic quest for full human recognition, Farr provides in this volume a much-needed, ‘black philosophy of liberation.’ For those especially interested in how the liberation motif extends beyond Christian commitment to divine promise in a context of racial oppression, this book will be a treasure to read!'
