Pollard, Carol B. Duncan1st ed. 2016.New York :Palgrave Macmillan US :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2016.1 online resource (XX, 335 p.)Includes index.1-137-55287-5 1-349-57422-8 The Black Church Studies Reader addresses the depth and breadth of Black theological studies, from Biblical studies and ethics to homiletics and pastoral care. The book examines salient themes of social and religious significance such as gender, sexuality, race, social class, health care, and public policy. While the volume centers around African American experiences and studies, it also attends to broader African continental and Diasporan religious contexts. The contributors reflect an interdisciplinary blend of Black Church Studies scholars and practitioners from across the country. The text seeks to address the following fundamental questions: What constitutes Black Church Studies as a discipline or field of study? What is the significance of Black Church Studies for theological education? What is the relationship between Black Church Studies and the broader academic study of Black religions? What is the relationship between Black Church Studies and local congregations (as well as other faith-based entities)? The book's search for the answers to these questions is compelling and illuminating.Religion and sociologyChristianityReligionsSocial Aspects of Religionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A8000Sociology of Religionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22210Religion and Societyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A8020Christianityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A3000Biblical Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A3140Comparative Religionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A1000Religion and sociology.Christianity.Religions.Social Aspects of Religion.Sociology of Religion.Religion and Society.Christianity.Biblical Studies.Comparative Religion.277.3/0808996073Pollard Alton B(Alton Brooks),1956-edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDuncan Carol B(Carol Bernadette),1965-edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910255350403321The Black Church Studies Reader2500700UNINA
