Publisher's Synopsis
The Kingdom at Hand examines the relationship between Christianity and Black people and the effect the two have on each other. The Black experience has contributed to how Black people have interpreted, accepted, and showed their Christianity, and for many, Christianity can be an effective tool for liberation against systematic forms of racism, oppression, and exploitation. Liberation theology seeks to interpret God's message in regards to how one should liberate oneself and others from the evils of oppression. The Pan African Orthodox Christian Church, is a small, primarily African American Christian Denomination and may be the closest example of what an unapologetic Black theology of liberation looks like in the United States.
