In Black Bodies and the Black Church , author Kelly Douglas Brown develops a blues crossroad theology, which allows the Black church to remain true to itself and relevant in Black lives."There is a problem in the black church. It is a problem with black bodies and a blues problem. This book addresses these problems head-on. It proclaims that as long as the black church cannot be a home for certain bodies, such as LGBT bodies, then it has forsaken its very black faith identity. The black church must find a way back to itself. Kelly Brown Douglas argues that the way back is through the blues."--Publisher's website.Black Religion/Womanist Thought/Social JusticeAfrican American churchesBlack theologyAfrican AmericansReligionBlack peopleReligionDiscriminationReligious aspectsChristianityChristianityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A3000Cultural and Media Studies, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/400000Sociology of Religionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22210History of Religionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A7000Gender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000Performing Artshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415030African American churches.Black theology.African AmericansReligionBlack peopleReligionDiscriminationReligious aspectsChristianity.Christianity.Cultural and Media Studies, general.Sociology of Religion.History of Religion.Gender Studies.Performing Arts.270.08996073277.30089/96073277.3008996073Douglas Kelly Brownauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1610500BOOK9910809291203321Black bodies and the Black church3938280UNINA
