Reviews

[David · Rating 3 out of 5]

This seems to be the book version of the seminar I attended at G.A. in Pittsburgh a few years ago. So much in the history of the gospel among African-Americans is new to me, so the learning curve is very steep. I’m just getting familiar with some names and movements. This book is a good intro, but a little hard to follow at times.
