The Black Christ by Kelly Brown Douglas
"The Black Christ" is a theological exploration that examines the intersection of race, Christianity, and liberation. The book challenges traditional Eurocentric interpretations of Christianity by presenting Jesus Christ as a figure of black liberation theology. The author argues that understanding Jesus as the Black Christ has profound implications for the African American community, offering a source of hope and a framework for resistance against systemic oppression and racism. Through this lens, the book delves into the historical and contemporary struggles of black people, advocating for a faith that is deeply connected to social justice and the lived experiences of the oppressed.
