Description: This book offers a comprehensive ethnographic study of African-American Muslims. Drawing on hundreds of interviews conducted over a period of several years, Dannin provides an unprecedented look inside the fascinating and little understood world of black Muslims. He discovers that the well-known and cult-like Nation of Islam represents only a small part of the picture. Many more African-Americans are drawn to Islamic orthodoxy, with its strict adherence to the Qur'an. Dannin takes us to the First Cleveland Mosque, the oldest continuing Muslim institution in America, on to a permament Muslim village in Buffalo, and then inside New York's maximum-security prisons to hear testimony of the powerful attraction of Islam for individuals in desperate situations. He looks at the aftermath of the assassination of Malcolm X, and the ongoing warfare between the Nation of Islam and orthodox Muslims. Accessibly written, filled with gripping first-hand testimony, and featuring superb illustrations by photographer Jolie Stahl, this book will be the best available guide to the beliefs and culture of African-American Muslims.

Description: Born in Connecticut, Lemuel Haynes was first an indentured servant, then a soldier in the Continental Army, and, in 1785, an ordained congregational minister. Haynes's writings constitute the fullest record of a black man's religion, social thought, and opposition to slavery in the late-18th and early-19th century. Drawing on both published and rare unpublished sources, John Saillant here offers the first comprehensive study of Haynes and his thought.

Description: For more than three decades, Walt "Baby" Love has touched the lives of more than ten million listeners across the world. Every week he shares his triumphs, challenges, and soul-stirring moments through his award-winning radio programs. He has built a following of millions of listeners and repeatedly shattered racial barriers as a black man in an industry long dominated by whites. Yet this former army paratrooper with the famed 82nd Airborne Division, who served in Southeast Asia, also broke ground as a man of disciplined, abiding faith who refused to bow to corrupt influences. His enormously popular syndicated rhythm-and-blues show lost its spot on a Chicago radio station because Walt would not refrain from counseling his listeners to look to Jesus. Though beloved by his devoted listeners, Walt was often treated as an outcast by other African-American broadcasters and industry executives because of his outspoken and steadfast devotion to the Christian way of life. Still, both earthly and heavenly rewards have come in great abundance to the man raised by his great-grandparents in rural Pennsylvania. In The Gospel According to Rev. Walt "Baby" Love he offers reflections and inspirational thoughts drawn from his life. He shares how his religious convictions helped him survive and thrive in an industry he believed to be rife with corruption and ungodly influences. And he recounts the story of his progression of faith from a player of gospel and R&B music to an ordained minister and preacher of God's Word. Each chapter focuses on a Bible verse, reflecting on its significance to him and guiding you on how to incorporate its teachings into your own daily life. An uplifting story of faith, family, and forgiveness in the face of God's plan, The Gospel According to Rev. Walt "Baby" Love is inspirational reading at its best.

Description: Ogbonnaya challenges the view that the African concept of deity is either mono- or poly-theistic and proposes communality as the foundational principal for African divinity. He describes African cosmology and examines Tertullian's idea of the Trinity, concluding that the African worldview is communitarian and the African god communal in nature.

Description: Raised in the bosom of the church, as both his father and his grandfather were preachers, it seemed almost preordained that Martin Luther King, Jr., would enter a seminary. Instead, he became the leading voice of his people, a man of profound conviction and courage.
As a young man, King was deeply influenced by theories of social activism and the religious life. These forces shaped him to become the leader of the civil rights movement. The teachers at Crozer Theological Seminary exposed King to the two thinkers who left the greatest impression on him--Mahatma Gandhi and Karl Barth. A precocious leader, King bloomed intellectually and socially and was valedictorian of his graduating class. Not surprisingly, he chose to continue his studies in theology and completed his doctorate at Boston University. By the time Dr. King graduated and accepted a position with a small church in Montgomery, Alabama, he had fallen in love with and married Coretta Scott, a music student at the New England Conservatory.
It was in Montgomery that Rosa Parks, the secretary for the local NAACP, was arrested for refusing to move to the back of one of the city's public buses. Parks's arrest outraged the black community and thrust King, a relative newcomer, into the forefront of the growing civil rights movement.The distinguished historian V. P. Franklin gives us possibly the most succinct profile of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to date. Concise, factually rich, and incisive, Martin Luther King, Jr. reveals the roots of King's dream for the future of race relations in America. Franklin's treatment reveals the public and the personal lives behind the man. He sought justice at a time when justice was a dream, and he fought hatred where it had grown for generations. Martin Luther King, Jr., forced open the nation's arms to all its citizens as he led the cause of civil rights in the 1950s and '60s. Distinguished professor V. P. Franklin follows King the man up the long road to the mountaintop, from the streets of Rosa Parks's Montgomery and "Bloody Sunday" on Selma's Pettus Bridge, to the Nobel Peace Prize and his ultimate sacrifice for African-American equality.

Description: The present book fits within the long history of African-American Catholics attempts (e.g., the nineteenth century Catholic Congresses and the twentieth century Federation of Colored Catholics) to address the issue of education for African-American Catholics. This book is part of an already established tradition of criticism and creative reform -- this time within Catholic higher education. This book is a beneficiary of those past achievements in education and a call for a new kind of reform in Catholic higher education, one that pays particular attention to the inclusion and integration of the African-American experience in Catholic theology and in the entire curriculum -- particularly in the hermeneutical enterprises in theology, ethics, and history.
