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. 606 $aReligion and sociology 606 $aChristianity 606 $aReligions 606 $aSocial Aspects of Religion$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A8000 606 $aSociology of Religion$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22210 606 $aReligion and Society$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A8020 606 $aChristianity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A3000 606 $aBiblical Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A3140 606 $aComparative Religion$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A1000 615 0$aReligion and sociology. 615 0$aChristianity. 615 0$aReligions. 615 14$aSocial Aspects of Religion. 615 24$aSociology of Religion. 615 24$aReligion and Society. 615 24$aChristianity. 615 24$aBiblical Studies. 615 24$aComparative Religion. 676 $a277.3/0808996073 702 $aPollard$b Alton B$g(Alton Brooks),$f1956-$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDuncan$b Carol B$g(Carol Bernadette),$f1965-$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255350403321 996 $aThe Black Church Studies Reader$92500700 997 $aUNINA
