The classic text in black theology, with a new introduction by Peter J. Paris and afterword by Kelly Brown Douglas. With the publication of Black Theology & Black Power in 1969 and the first edition of this volume in 1970, James Cone emerged as one of the most creative and provocative theological voices in North America. These books, which offered a searing indictment of white theology and society, introduced a radical presentation of the Christian message of our time, reappraising Christianity from the perspective of the oppressed black community in North America. Fifty years later, his work retains its original power.
