On Being Black and Reformed: A New Perspective on the African-American Christian Experience
"My goal," writes Anthony J. Carter, is to redeem and reform our understanding of "the Black American experience through the most legitimate lens available to us—theology. And the most legitimate theological perspective through which to attain this goal is the biblically based and historically grounded Reformed perspective." "A Black Reformed theological perspective on history has the primary goal of glorifying God," Carter continues. "In doing so we are confident that in turn it will be a comfort to the people of God." Carter does not flinch from tackling the toughest questions: - Where was God in the Atlantic Slave Trade and the subsequent slavery perpetrated on these African people? - How does Christianity triumph among a people oppressed in a so-called Christian society by so-called Christians? "It is my hope," writes Carter, "that the reader will find in these pages a pointer in the direction of him who can answer every question and resolve every issue, . . . Jesus Christ." Carter prays that his readers will find here "the glories of God in Christ . . . made more plain and lovely."
