| Zusammenfassung: | When considered as a whole, the genius of black theology involves an ability to shift and change, to reconceive itself in light of new understandings and alternate situations. From the initial work of figures such as James H. Cone and J. Deotis Roberts, through a second generation of thinkers such as Dwight Hopkins and James Evans, to more recent challenges offered by Eddie Glaude, Victor Anderson, and Anthony Pinn, black theology has given voice to the nature and meaning of religion within African-American communities. Mindful of this rich history, this article provides a survey of black theology's formation and structure - moving from its initial inception, through present developments and ongoing concerns. |
