Indigenous Black theologytoward an African-centered theology of the African American religious experience /[electronic resource] :Jawanza Eric Clark. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2012. - 1 online resource (xv, 186 p.) - Black religion/Womanist thought/Social justice. - Black religion, womanist thought, social justice..

Includes bibliographical references and index.

I once was lost, but now I'm found: the origins of Black Christian anti-African sentiment -- Only way to salvation: a Christological critique -- Overcoming religious and cultural amnesia: who are the ancestors? -- Indigenous Black theology: toward a theology of the ancestors -- Dead are not dead: the future of Black theology and Black church theologies.

For black people in America, Christian formation historically has come at a steep price b7 salienation from, even shame for, their African past. This alienation is primarily rooted in the acceptance of two orthodox Christian doctrines: the doctrines of original sin and Jesus Christ as exclusive savior. This work is concerned with the way Black Christian formation, because of the acceptance of universal, absolute, and exclusive Christian doctrines, seems to justify and even encourage anti-African sentiment. Clark seeks to address this problem by constructing a doctrine of the ancestors in an effort to legitimize indigenous African religious categories and offer an alternative theological anthropology for the future of Black theology.
