Kelly Brown Douglas: Sexuality and the Black Church: A Womanist Perspective - 25th Anniversary Edition, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

25th Anniversary Edition

This book, first published in 1999, tackled the "taboo" subject of sexuality that had long been avoided by the Black church and community. Douglas argued that this view of Black sexuality was interfering with constructive responses to the AIDS crisis, fostering intolerance, and frustrating healthy male / female relationships. In her new introduction she reflects on how these ongoing challenges address the situation today, arguing that the Black church, "if it is to live into that legacy of the faith born from the hush harbors of slavery, must be in the forefront of partnering with God to create a world, a society, a community, a church where all of God's people can be free to show forth the image of God that they are."
