Gospel Haymanot: A Constructive Theology and Critical Reflection on African and Diasporic Christianity
A COMPREHENSIVE EXPLORATION OF HOW THE BLACK CHURCH TRADITION – GOSPEL HAYMANOT – SHAPES THE WORLDVIEW OF BLACK THEOLOGIANS.
The primary paradigms that exist in theological academia are rooted in white, Eurocentricity and do not speak to the realities of Black Christians. Though many books critique the problem of white supremacy in evangelicalism, most are focused on reforming this movement without attention to the resources of the Black Church.
Through seven dominant voices in Black academic theology, Gospel Haymanot sheds new light on biblical authority issues, doctrinal orthodoxy, and evangelical theology on justice and liberation. This book introduces ideals ingrained in the Black Church tradition which engage the Black Christian experience.
Gospel Haymanot provides essential framing for Black academics and the broader Church who are committed to biblical orthodoxy and Black liberation.
“It has long been the case that the church is the most important institution in the black community…Bantu begins this work among ancient Black peoples and brings the peculiar work of the Spirit into the present.”
—DR. WILLIAM E. PANNELL, Professor Emeritus of Preaching, Fuller Theological Seminary

A thought-provoking set of essays tracing the continuity between ancient African Christian orthodox faith ('haymanot rete't') and an integrated Gospelist approach to Christian theology that holistically integrates scriptural faith with liberation and justice.

Gives a great perspective on engaging the culture with a healthy and knowledgeable perspective on the history of oppressed/marginalized peoples and the cultivated faith (haymanot) needed to endure, grow and heal.
