"There is much to explore and celebrate about this long overdue
update to the vast scope of African American theology, past and
future. To be sure, this volume is for scholars and serious
students as it offers an important, valid and expanded view of
doctrines, internal debates and on-going challenges. To this end,
the handbook's strength lies in its structure and in its use of
womanist scholarship as more than an addendum, but rather as
valuable and necessary
contributors to African American theology."--Clemette Haskins,
Anglican and Episcopal History
"Cannon and Pinn have assembled a who's who of contemporary
African-American theology in a substantial volume, tracing its
themes, debates, and future prospects. A wonderful resource to dip
into or read straight through."--Christian Century
"In this monumental collection, Cannon (Union Theological Seminary
and Presbyterian School of Christian Education) and Pinn (Rice
Univ.) provide an assessment of the current state of African
American theology, looking at it from an interdisciplinary and
multi-faith perspective... Because of the breadth of the topics and
the quality of the essays, this volume is destined to be a classic
work in the field... Essential." --CHOICE
