Description: A companion to the PBS series, This Far by Faith isthe story of how religious faith inspired the greatest social movementin American history -- the U.S. Civil Rights movement. Hailed upon publication as a beautiful, seminal book on the role of the church in the African American community as well as on the social history of America, This Far by Faith reveals the deep religious conviction that empowered a people viewed as powerless to blaze a path to freedom and deliverance, to stand and be counted in this one nation under God. Here are the stories of politics, tent revivals, and the importance of black churches as touchstones for every step of the faith journey that became the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Using archival and contemporary photography, historical research, and modern-day interviews, This Far by Faith features messages from some of today's foremost religious leaders.

Description: They come each Sunday, three thousand strong. They fill the pews, then raise the roof. They are the congregation of the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, New York. From its founding almost 200 years ago, Abyssinian has flourished as the most influential center of black spiritualism in the United States. Its popularity among tourists visiting Harlem has also given Abyssinian an international reputation. In We’ve Come This Far, parishioner and photographer Robert Gore documents the daily routines and dramatic events of this diverse, living church. As much a house of progress as a house of prayer, Abyssinian has faithfully served its community since its inception in 1808, fortifying its members from pre-Civil War to post-Civil Rights America. Four maverick pastors shepherded the flock through the social and political turmoil of the twentieth century. Reverend Adam Clayton Powell, Sr., Reverend Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., Reverend Doctor Samuel Proctor, Calvin O. Butts III, the current pastor. Under their leadership, Abyssinian has set the standard for church-based community involvement. For the past decade, Robert Gore has been Abyssinian’s official photographer. We’ve Come This Far reflects both his personal connection and unparalleled access to the church.

Description: The conversion of African-born slaves and their descendants to Protestant Christianity marked one of the most important social and intellectual transformations in American history. Come Shouting to Zion is the first comprehensive exploration of the processes by which this remarkable transition occurred. Using an extraordinary array of archival sources, Sylvia Frey and Betty Wood chart the course of religious conversion from the transference of traditional African religions to the New World through the growth of Protestant Christianity in the American South and British Caribbean up to 1830. Come Shouting to Zion depicts religious transformation as a complex reciprocal movement involving black and white Christians. It highlights the role of African American preachers in the conversion process and demonstrates the extent to which African American women were responsible for developing distinctive ritual patterns of worship and divergent moral values within the black spiritual community. Finally, the book sheds light on the ways in which, by serving as a channel for the assimilation of Western culture into the slave quarters, Protestant Christianity helped transform Africans into African Americans.

Description: Black Religion explores the complexity of the black spiritual imagination using the autobiographies of three prominent religious leaders. Looking at Malcolm X’s journey from Christianity to Islam, social parasite to “race man,” libertine to ascetic, Hart delves into the spiritual dimensions of Malcolm X’s life. Hart then examines the affinities between Malcolm’s spiritual journey and the journeys of Julius Lester and Jan Willis-- none of whom conform to standard expectations of what it means to be a black person and a religious person. Hart argues that the Muslim, Judaic, and Buddhist commitments of these autobiographers show that the black spiritual imagination—religious, political, and personal—cannot be limited to the standard narrative of Black Religion, nor can spirituality be limited to religion. |
