Publisher's Synopsis
The book is an overview of the main themes and processes in the spirituality of Black British women, with special reference to women in Christianity and the Ausar Auset Society. The book uses qualitative research methods to classify the writings of Black British women theologians, and to conduct primary research with women in the previously mentioned religious groups in Britain. Against the background of injustice in contemporary British society, the legacy of colonialism, and the inherited values of diasporic African culture and world views, the book details and analyzes the womens views on God, the nature and vocation of humanity, evil, suffering and salvation. An underlying search for truth and belief in the existence of God are unifying motive and assumption in the womens quest for spiritual development. In conclusion, a model of Black British womens faith formation identifies race, gender, personal adversity and social concerns as consistent issues which simultaneously create dissonance and motivation for spiritual growth.
