A Black Theology of Liberation : 50th Anniversary Edition

With the publication of his two early works, Black Theology & Black Power (1969) and A Black Theology of Liberation (1970), James Cone emerged as one of the most creative and provocative theological voices in North America.

His books offered a searing indictment of white theology and society and introduced a radical presentation of the Christian message of our time.

Combining the visions of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., Cone radically reappraised Christianity from the perspective of the oppressed black community in North America.

Fifty years later, his work retains its original power.
