<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Carter shows how Reformed theology best speaks to African-American experienceand demonstrates how black experiences and traditions can and should deeply enrich our theology, no matter our heritage.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>African Americans have a rich and compelling Christian heritage--one that stretches back to foundational figures such as the church fathers Augustine and Tertullian. Yet white Christians often expect their black brothers and sisters to embrace a Eurocentric theology that marginalizes their own experiences and traditions. In this book, Anthony Carter draws both black and Reformed theology together, showing how Reformed theology's biblical stance addresses African-American experiences such as the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade and oppression by so-called Christians. Carter also explores a few of the ways that an explicitly black theology can enhance our understanding of God and his Word, no matter our ethnicity. This second edition includes new material: a foreword by Thabiti Anyabwile, an interview with the author, and discussion questions for each chapter.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A most edifying and important work. I suspect that generations to come will look back upon its publication as a milestone in the history of the Reformed theology. This book needed to be written, and more importantly it needs to be read.--Keith A. Mathison, Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformation Bible College<br><br>As an African American I am delighted with the publication of this book. It will serve as an excellent introduction to Reformed theology for the emerging black Reformed community in the U.S. I anticipate that it will be a great resource for church planters and anyone else seeking to reach the black community.--Anthony B. Bradley, Associate Professor of Theology and Ethics, The King's College; Author, Liberating Black Theology: The Bible and Black Experience in America<br><br>This work is greatly needed in the church, and I am confident the Lord will use it for the re-africanization of the church.--Richard L. Pratt Jr., President, Third Millennium Ministries<br><br>When I met Anthony Carter several years ago I detected a rigorous mind, a righteous concern for racial justice, and a Reformed vision of God--a rare combination. Since then I have wanted to be a listener. Now this book makes that easier. May the Lord of nations use it to shape a powerful movement of God-centered Christians from all peoples who have tasted suffering.--John Piper, Founder and Teacher, desiringGod.org; Chancellor, Bethlehem College and Seminary, Minneapolis<br>
