SCM Core Text: Black Theology

by Anthony G. Reddie

The SCM Core Text Black Theology is an accessible introduction to the teaching and learning of Black theology in Higher Education and theological educational training establishments. This text aims to sensitize readers to the inherited legacy of ‘race’, ethnicity, difference and racism, which has exerted a profound influence upon the lives of all people since the Enlightenment. The book shows the diversity and vibrancy of Black Theology as an international movement that emerged not in the context of the academe but from the lived experiences of Black people and yet has gained recognition as an academic discipline.

An excellent introduction to Black Theology. It's wide-ranging, clear and very well constructed. I particularly appreciated the final chapter 'Putting All This Together' which uses a case study to apply the various facets of Black Theology explained earlier in the book. It is clear that Reddie is not only a first class academic, but also knows how to teach. I now feel a have a good enough grasp of the field to take my next step, and the huge bibliography gives a lot of good signposts for further reading.
