	Assessing Black Theology
		As a teacher of fl theology, I am often asked, "What is fl theology?" I have found that this question, most often, is not a request for a definition, nor is it usually a call for the statement of the raison d'etre that is demanded of every new discipline.
		It would appear that though we speak of American, of German theology -- and to be factual we ought to speak of white theology -- the term "fl theology" is still for many a theological and semantic monstrosity, akin to speaking about a married bachelor.
		Prolegomenon to Black Theology, with a new preface and afterword.

	Black theology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Black theology is a Christian theology of liberation.
		Black Theology was popularised in southern Africa in the early 1970s by Basil Moore, a Methodist theologian in South Africa, and it helped to give rise to, and developed in parallel with the Black Consciousness Movement.
		Black Theology was particularly influential in South Africa and Namibia in motiviting resistance to apartheid.

	Most forms of liberation theology were born in the social foment of the 1960s
		As a result, Black theologians did not debate the question as to how the idea of God could be made palatable to the modern mindset, for this was not an issue among their people.
		(1) Black theology insists that the biblical portrait of God is one in which he consistently takes his stand with and on behalf of the poor and oppressed and consistently denounces and judges the privileged oppressors.
		Thus fl theology is done from the perspective of an oppressed people and against the backdrop of both historical and contemporary racism.

	Theology Today - Vol 38, No. 2 - July 1981 - ARTICLE - Banning Black Theology in South Africa
		In banning fl theology, the government has taken upon itself to be the "guardian of the faith." We immediately stumble upon the pretension that the government knows the true faith, accepts it, lives by it, and resolves to protect it.
		Black theology is the attempt of fl Christians to understand and interpret their situation in the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
		Christian theology has been cast into a white Western mold, reflecting the beliefs of the rich and the powerful as prescribed by their position of wealth, comfort, and power, rather than the cries and the faith of the poor and the oppressed who were not white.

	Black Theology vs. Feminist Theology
		In a society where fl maleness was marginalized and placed under constant threat of "castration" (literally as well as figuratively) by the dominant sexist-racist society, the fl minister became the one true "man" of the fl community, the surrogate patriarch for a scorned manliness.
		Black women inevitably ground a militant feminism not only in their liberation as persons but also in the validation of woman as mother, fighting for the survival of her children.
		An independent fl feminism that can articulate the distinctive character of the fl female experience in a way that can reveal this total structure of oppression, then, is the essential element that is needed to cut through the mystifications of white male power that set the three subordinate groups against each other.

	Black Theology (by Ron Rhodes) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Black theologian Anthony Evans tells us that "fl women were raped at will by their masters at the threat of death while their husbands could only look on.
		Moreover, white missionaries persuaded the fls that life on earth was insignificant because "obedient servants of God could expect a reward in heaven after death."[7] The white interpretation of Christianity effectively divested the slaves of any concern they might have had about their freedom in the present.
		Black theology's hermeneutic - with its emphasis on the "fl experience" - is open to the same criticism.

	Black Theology and Womanist Theology in Conversation
		Black theology originated when African American male pastors and ecclesial administrators began reflecting on the fl church's role in providing religious understandings of the major developments in America during the 1960s and '70s.
		Black and womanist theologies maintain their ties to the fl church; they share similar theoretical methodologies, developing doctrines on the basis of the Christian experiences of people in churches.
		Black theologians realize that what it means to be a male theological scholar or church pastor hinges on perceiving one's own humanity as tied to the humanity of African American women thinkers and preachers.

	Theology Today - Vol 36, No. 2 - July 1979 - ARTICLE - Black Theology: Retrospect and Prospect
		Black people protest against a world in which injustice reigns because the good news is that in Jesus Christ the liberator, God has defeated the powers of death and the devil.
		Hence fl theologians, whether they sought to develop a theology of the fl experience or a theological/ethical statement which was aimed at exposing the contradictions between the American way of life and the gospel of liberation, could voice their protest against the sin of idolatry implicit in the practice of racism.
		Black theology's exposure of the sin of racism pointed it up for what it is: the very basis of sin in that it constitutes the attempt of people to deceive themselves by pretending they are God.

	Black liberation theology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Black Theology does not get bogged down in quaint personifications of Satan (the current issue of Newsweek has a wonderful article on Satan, by the way), but sees him at work in the powers and principalities of this world that would enslave and demean human beings.
		Black theology is the embodiment of the insights and understanding of our theologians, our people who appropriated the Christian gospel and articulated its relevance to our need to our condition, to our struggle for freedom.
		Black theology emerged from the civil rights movement of the 1960's and therefore it shared the general goals of protesters of that era.

	Dialogue on Black Theology
		In that use a person with white skin may in fact be “fl,” while a person with fl skin may be “white.” This definition of terms is a healthy change from the usual symbolic meanings of white and fl.
		For to be fl is to know the ambiguity of the fl experience, and this is true for one who is literally fl.
		Cone: Whether fl theology is a help or hindrance to other persons of color who are not fl will have to be decided by the victims who are red, brown, or whatever color.

	The Truth About Black Liberal Theology
		Black liberal theologians are in reality "Uncle Toms" still licking the boots of their white, Marxist masters at such bastions of white liberalism as Princeton, Yale, Harvard, etc..
		The main method employed by BT is to manipulate embittered young fls by turning their feelings of inferiority, alienation, jealousy, hopelessness and self-hate, into racist rage against whites, Orientals and affluent fls who are conveniently blamed for their lack of personal initiative to better their lot in life.
		Black liberal theologians slave for their white Marxist masters to bring about a violent revolution that would guarantee that all men, fls included, would always be poor and oppressed.

	Profile: Dwight Hopkins
		Black theology is how God, or the spirit of freedom, works with the oppressed fl community for their full humanity.
		Now those of us in academia who work in fl theology are trying to once again include fl churches and church leaders under its umbrella.
		I'm working to get fl theology accepted as part of the mainstream theological curriculum, so that it's taught not only in predominantly fl schools, but in every leading seminary and divinity school across the country.
