Opis

Faith, hope, and love embody the black theology of liberation, a movement created by a group of African- American pastors in the 1960s who felt that Christ's gospel held a special message of liberation for African- Americans, and for all oppressed people.

Recenzje

"... Hopkins has never disappointed the intelligent and compassionate reader...with this volume...he adds another..." - Library Journal

"An accessible introduction to black theology of liberation for non-specialists, this is at the same time a fine introduction to liberation theology in general. On both counts, it should interest plenty of readers outside as well as in the African American community." - Booklist
