Introduction: "Yet do I marvel!" -- Seeing through the dark : elements of the tragic vision -- Sparagmous, or "the crucified" -- A look beneath the Souls of Black folk -- Deep calls unto deep :African AmericanChristian consciousness Pt. 1 -- Life within the veil : African American Christianconsciousness Pt. 2 -- From strength to strength : towarda theology of African American Christian consciousness -- Epilogue: The fate of Dionysius or everything is going to be alright.

This phenomenological analysis of African American religious subjectivity suggests the tragic, understood as an ontological category, as the seminal hermeneutical lens through which one can deepen one's understanding of the experience and its theological implications. New insightsgarnered from this framework challenges many traditional theological assumptions leading to the decentralizationof the resurrection as the key Christian symbol. Through the abstract African American longing, Johnson connects the resurrection and the cross in one dialectically constituted moment of a larger recalibration of Christian categories, which brings the "Second Coming" into new theological and philosophical prominence.
