African-American Christianity: Essays in History Paperback - 1994
by Paul E. Johnson (Editor)
First line
In the encounter with European Christianity in its Protestant form in North America, enslaved Africans and their descendants encountered something new: a fully articulated ritual relationship with the Supreme Being, who was pictured in the book that the Christians called the Bible not just as the Creator and Ruler of the Cosmos, but also as the God of History, a God who lifted up and cast down nations and peoples, a God whose sovereign will was directing all things toward an ultimate end, drawing good out of evil.
From the rear cover
In this collection of essays, seven leading scholars give us the most comprehensive book to date on the history of African-American religion from the slavery period to the present. This volume illuminates the fusion of African and Christian traditions that has characterized African-American Christianity's unique contribution to American religious history.
