An Academic Study of African American Religion
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Dr. and Rev. Flora Wilson Bridges has written a brief, but deep academic study of African American religion. Those looking for a lay-level study of the history of African American Christianity will not find it here. Instead, they will find a text useful as a graduate level textbook. Further, they will find a focus not on Christianity per se, but on the link between African religious tradition and some segments of historic and current African American religion. At times this link seems forced, but still the work is valuable when read critically and in the context of the purpose and focus of the work. Reviewer: Bob Kellemen, Ph.D., is the author of Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction.
