A Primer on Black Theology and Question for Senator Obama
I just got connected to the news nets today and Drudge and discovered that there is a big blowup about Jeremiah Wright, PhD the pastor of Barak Obama. I knew the Trinity United Church of Christ was an Afro-Centric church, focused on black theology. But I was very surprised to hear the actual comments of Dr. Wright on the Hugh Hewitt Show today (best show on radio ever).
Well, what do I think, especially as a theologian?
[Author’s Note: Throughout this I will be using Black when I talk about identity, as Black Theology does, and African American when speaking about the larger community of Americans of African descent]
