Routledge - Black Theology, Slavery and Contemporary Christianity

Black Theology, Slavery and Contemporary Christianity: 200 Years and No Apology offers a deep look into how the legacy of slavery continues to shape theological thought. Published by Routledge, this book examines the historical impact of the British Empire and the long-term effects of the 1807 act. While the slave trade was abolished, this work shows how racism and white supremacy persisted through the demonization of Blackness and Africa. This interdisciplinary study provides a necessary perspective for students and scholars. By combining biblical studies, history, and missiology with Black theological reflection, the contributors analyze the role of faith in the fight for abolition. It challenges standard historical approaches and provides a framework for understanding how religious thought interacts with social justice and racial identity in a modern context.
