Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The inspiration for this book occurred during conversations among American Baptist College and Vanderbilt Divinity School graduates regarding the fifty-year span of church and academy leadership, preaching, teaching, and writings of Forrest Harris. Those conversations eventually came to focus on the social narratives of the black leadership tradition and its religious, educational, and political impact on public life in America. These essays highlight the significant concepts and themes within the black freedom justice movements that involved black religious and moral leaders. Without these leaders' vision and sacrificial commitment to justice and black social progress, change would not have been possible. Given the ever-growing numbers of black leaders in the academy and church, the crises in education and politics to impact social change, and the continuing existential oppressions abounding in communities they serve, these contributors believe the time has come for substantial and systemic conversations among educators, church leaders, theological scholars, and social justice activists about leadership in the twenty-first century. This volume is designed to be as inclusive as possible, calling upon diverse scholars in the academy and church, education, and civil society to share their perspectives.Contributors include Victor Anderson, Lewis V. Baldwin, Karen F. Brown Dunlap, Riggins R. Earl, Jr., Walter Earl Fluker, Yvette A. Flunder, Forrest E. Harris, James M. Lawson, Herbert R. Marbury, Marvin A. McMickle, William Myers, Peter J.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In Dark Symbols, Obscure Signs, Riggins R. Earl Jr. investigates how slave owners intentionally manipulated Christianity as they passed it on to slaves and demonstrates how slaves successfully challenged that distorted interpretation. Analyzing slaves' response to Christianity as expressed in testimonies, songs, stories, and sermons, Earl reveals the conversion experience as the initial step toward an autonomy that defied white control. Contrary to what their white owners expected or desired, enslaved African Americans found in Christianity a life-affirming identity and strong sense of community.Slave owners believed Christianity would instill docility and obedience, but the slaves discovered in the Bible a different message, sharing among themselves the "dark symbols and obscure signs" that escaped the notice of their captors. Finding a sense of liberation rather than submission in their conversion experience, slaves discovered their own self-worth and their values as children of God.Originally published in 1993, Dark Symbols, Obscure Signs traces the legacy of slaves' embrace of Christianity both during and after the slavery era. In a new introduction, the author places the book within the context of contemporary scholarship on the roots of the African American cultural experience. He argues that any interpretation of this experience must begin with a foundational study of the theological and ethical constructs that have shaped the way blacks understand themselves in relationship to God, their oppressors, and each other.The Author: Riggins R.
