AFBL 257 - Black and Womanist Theology

This course explores the socio-historical origins, religio-political development, critical figures and writings, and major themes of US Black and womanist theologies within US Christian traditions seeking racial, gender, economic, and sexual justice. Drawing on diverse sources (religious experiences, social movements, and the arts), this course examines and analyzes how Black and womanist theologies shaped and influenced twentieth and twenty-first century US Christianity as well as US inter/multifaith discourse and practice, within the Black church and wider US society.
