Böcker av James H. Cone

With the publication of his two early works, Black Theology & Black Power (1969) and A Black Theology of Liberation (1970), James Cone emerged as one of the most creative and provocative theological voices in North America. His books offered a searing indictment of white theology and society and introduced a radical presentation of the Christian message of our time. Combining the visions of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., Cone radically reappraised Christianity from the perspective of the oppressed black community in North America. Fifty years later, his work retains its original power.

This groundbreaking and highly acclaimed work examines the two most influential African-American leaders of this century, Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X. James Cone cuts through such superficial assessments of King and Malcolm as polar opposites to reveal two men whose visions are complementary and moving toward convergence.
