The Black Church Studies Reader addresses the depth and breadth of Black theological studies, from Biblical studies and ethics to homiletics and pastoral care. The book examines salient themes of social and religious significance such as gender, sexuality, race, social class, health care, and public policy. While the volume centers around African American experiences and studies, it also attends to broader African continental and Diasporan religious contexts. The contributors reflect an interdisciplinary blend of Black Church Studies scholars and practitioners from across the country. The text seeks to address the following fundamental questions: What constitutes Black Church Studies as a discipline or field of study? What is the significance of Black Church Studies for theological education? What is the relationship between Black Church Studies and the broader academic study of Black religions? What is the relationship between Black Church Studies and local congregations (as well as other faith-based entities)? The book's search for the answers to these questions is compelling and illuminating.

The Black Church is a very unique institution in American society. It is obvious in ways other than the complexion of its parishioners. Part of that uniqueness remains hidden, only to be found in the burdens of its people. Being unique many of its goals and purposes are different from that of other churches. A uniqueness that can only be explained by what the Black Church was forced to endure. And yet what it had to endure in the past forced the members of the Black Church to pray as never before. Consequently that's what made the Black Church such a powerful institution in America. In the writing of this book assistance has come from many sources and in many forms. The writer of history, above all others, can hardly be unaware of his debt to the pilgrims and pioneers of previous scholarship. He also recognizes, with increasing uneasiness, his inability to repay or even adequately acknowledge that debt. Gratitude must be expressed to Myra Selby, my secretary, who was very patient with me. Gratitude should also be given to the Fifth Avenue Library ( the largest in the world) for its generous provisions of research facilities, and to Pastor David Butler (founder and director of the Contemporary Gospel Ensemble) and pastor of the Fullness Of Joy Church; whose acute knowledge of the history of the Black Church has enabled me to give to the reader an accurate account of certain events which took place during the founding and the organizing of the Black Church. Special thanks should also be given to Reverend Clarence Sexton, pastor of Mount Sinai Holy Church Of God In Christ, located in Brooklyn, N.Y. for graciously giving of his time and also for giving helpful criticism and advise in the construction of this book. Though the sentiments of this book may not be his, he still encouraged in writing which I feel was inspired by the Lord. I am not implying that these words are the words of the Lord, but it was through His inspiration that this book was written. At no time was it my intention to merely criticize or to pass judgment on the Black Church, the church in which I came to know the Lord as my personal Saviour. This book for the most part is controversial. This was done purposely to invoke thought. In the rear of the book is a glossary section. The glossary I attempted to explain, define and give meaning to many of the phrases and words used in this book. In several instances throughout the book I purposely reframed from giving my exact views so that by my leaving certain questions unanswered the reader would be forced to further examine these issues and form their own opinions. I hope that this book will not only be informative, but interesting and entertaining as well.
