Description - African American Religion by Timothy E. Fulop
There are many different varieties of African American religion; equally diverse are the various methodological approaches to these religions. In African American Religion the editors bring together many of the most important essays on the subject in order to provide a general overview of the field and its most important scholars. Collecting into one volume a vast array of interpretive essays on the subject of African American religion, this anthology adds depth and focus to conventional textbooks by providing a convenient guide to otherwise hard to find journal articles. The anthology begins with an introduction and two essays that orient African American religion to American history and the study of religion. The essays that follow are both chronological and inclusive, with such wide-ranging topics as the early cultural contact of Africans and Europeans; the relationship between slavery and an emerging Black Christianity; women and ministry; and the place of Africa in the African-American religious consciousness.
In addition to being a convenient resource for scholars seeking an orientation to the most important and recent interpretations of African American religion, this anthology is designed for a multitude of academic disciplines, including college and divinity school courses in religion, history, church history, African-American studies and American studies. Comprehensive in scope and containing bibliographical references for further research, this is the most complete anthology of interpretive essays on the subject of African American religious experience in existence today.
