Contents Couldn't keep it to myself: removing my mask -- What the Lord has done for me: Black theology and Black power -- You ought to be been there : a Black theology of liberation -- When he put my name on the roll: learning from my critics -- When he saved my soul: learning from my students -- I started walkin' and talkin': the cross and lynching tree -- I started singin' and shoutin': learning from Baldwin
Summary James Cone is widely regarded as the "father of Black Theology"--his own synthesis of Gospel message embodied by Martin Luther King, Jr., and the black pride of Malcolm X. Next year marks the 50th anniversary of his first book, Black Theology and Black Power. This new work is truly the capstone to that career, showing how he was compelled by events to articulate this theology, how it led to his career at Union and his succession of books--along the way learning from his critics, his students, and the ongoing challenge of his principal models--King, Malcolm X, and James Baldwin
