"American religious thought at its best."-Michael Eric
Dyson, author of I May Not Get There with You: The True
Martin Luther King, Jr. From the birth of Black Theology to
James Cone's seminal work on the theology of Martin Luther
King, Jr., and the philosophy of Malcolm X, to the
importance of the environmental movement, Risks of Faith
presents the best and breadth of Black Theology. "James Hal
Cone has almost singlehandedly re-shaped western
theological thought to make it racially inclusive by
demythologizing the conventional myths and shibboleths
which kept it a white spiritual and philosophical preserve
for centuries."-C. Eric Lincoln, William Rand Kenan
Professor of Religion and Culture (Emeritus), Duke
University "This volume of new and classic texts offers a
wide-ranging introduction to the esteemed theologian's
work."-Emerge "Risks of Faith shows that Cone is as much a
prophet after thirty years as he was in the beginning."-
Delores S. Williams, author of Black Theology in a New
Key "Risks of Faith will be a revelation to those unaware
that Black Religion reflects the finest modern
manifestation of Jesus' teachings."
-Derrick Bell, author of
Gospel Choirs
