RS 340 African American Theology
This course examines the unique contributions of African Americans to Christian theology. Discussion of African religions, slave spirituals and narratives, and the ongoing marginalization of African Americans due to structural racism will serve as an introduction. The focus of the course will be on contemporary developments beginning in the late 1960s, which will be explored through close reading of works of Black Liberation Theology.
