Back Jacket
Glenn Usry and Craig Keener contend that Christianity can be Afrocentric. In this massively researched book, they show that racism is not inherent in Christianity. More important, they show how "world history is also our history and the Bible is also our book". Black Man's Religion is one of the first of its kind, a pro-Christian reading of religion and history from a Black perspective. Fascinating and compelling, it is must reading for all concerned for African-American culture and issues of faith.
