The Social Teaching of the Black Churches

by Peter J. Paris

In African American culture, the church is instrumental in establishing and maintaining social order. Professor Paris shows that a study of black church teachings reveals black social ethics. These ethics aren't abstract moral principles, but sociopolitical quests for liberation and freedom.
