Honoring the ancestors: Toward an Afrocentric approach to Christian theology.
Clark, Adam L.

Honoring the ancestors: Toward an Afrocentric approach to Christian theology. - 284 p.

Adviser: James Cone.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Union Theological Seminary, 2008.

This dissertation examines the significance of Afrocentricity to Christian faith and theology. Afrocentricity is not a religious movement proper, nor is it conventionally classified as a species of black religious thought. Its use as a resource for the discipline of theology is similar to the turn toward Black Power by black clergy and theologians during the nineteen sixties and seventies. While many Christians regard both Black Power and Afrocentricity as the antitheses of faith, black radical clergy and theologians have creatively used both concepts to express the meaning of faith in the contemporary world.

520 $a This dissertation examines the significance of Afrocentricity to Christian faith and theology. Afrocentricity is not a religious movement proper, nor is it conventionally classified as a species of black religious thought. Its use as a resource for the discipline of theology is similar to the turn toward Black Power by black clergy and theologians during the nineteen sixties and seventies. While many Christians regard both Black Power and Afrocentricity as the antitheses of faith, black radical clergy and theologians have creatively used both concepts to express the meaning of faith in the contemporary world.
520 $a The use of black folk culture and literature, Negro Spirituals, The Blues, Jazz, African-derived religions and black women's history and culture as resources for black theology has sharpened its academic focus but not its public engagement nor political practice. If the future of a black theology of liberation is contingent on an engagement with contemporary freedom movements, is a turn to nineteenth and early twentieth century sources enough? This dissertation treats Afrocentricity as a contemporary discourse on liberation that has viability for black theology because of its relevance in the academy, church, community, prisons and urban projects. Afrocentricity functions in each of these contexts to keep Christian theology engaged with the life of the black poor. Thus being Afrocentric and Christian means regarding Christianity as a liberating faith---a faith that empowers people to make God's passion for justice the living substance of their lives.
