Description

Revolutionary Theology shines new light on the influential thought of James Hal Cone, the pioneering Black liberation theologist.

Author Arnold L. Farr explores Cone's life, writings and his powerful vision of Black liberation theology, confirming their relevance for the fight against white supremacy today. Centred on the concepts of 'black consciousness' and 'black power' in theology and beyond, the book maps Cone's project as an attempt to overturn white supremacy in theology, the church and in American society altogether.

Farr charts the origins and changes in Black liberation theology. He goes on to broaden Cone's insights and apply them towards developing a critical political theology for non-religious people – arguing that the liberation movement within religion, as demonstrated through the Black Radical Tradition, has much to contribute to the pursuit of social justice.
