Review
"Anthony Bradley's analysis of black liberation theology is by far the best thing that I have read on the subject. Anthony's book is comprehensive and in-depth. He covers all of the bases, and thereby provides the reader with all of the information that he needs to understand the critical issues involved with black liberation theology. By covering such figures as James Cone, Cornell West, and Jeremiah Wright, we see all of the nuances involved with their approaches to the subject. His explanation of victimology, Marxism, and aberrant Christian doctrine make a noxious mix of ideas that would make any true Christian wary of anything even approaching black liberation theology. His keen insight into these ideas and his clarity of writing make this book a jewel. Anthony has done the Christian community a great service by writing this book. There was a significant need for a work of this type and its arrival is long overdue."―Craig Vincent Mitchell, Assistant Professor of Christian Ethics, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary"I have read a number of books which purport to explain, define, or critique black liberation theology, but Liberating Black Theology is the easiest to understand. This is because Dr. Bradley unapologetically maintains a biblical, orthodox perspective while being sympathetic to the issues and concerns of black liberation theologians. The book should be required reading for any seminary class on biblical interpretation and for seminary students and pastors interested in understanding the history and struggles of the black church in America."―Wy Plummer, African American Ministries Coordinator, Mission to North America, Presbyterian Church in America"With irenic tone Bradley reveals the theological justification of racial separation inherent within the victimization philosophy of both first generation and second generation black theology. His analysis demonstrates how the vision of Cone and his intellectual offspring contributes to rather than resolves DuBois' problem of the twentieth (now twenty-first!) century."―Eric C. Redmond, Assistant Professor of Bible, Moody Bible Institute; Pastor of Adult Ministries, Calvary Memorial Church, Oak Park, Illinois

It was bound to happen. It was Black History Month, I had just gone to a Martin Luther King Jr. memorial service, and then attended my quarterly Presbytery meeting where my denomination is presently in the topsy-turvy toils of hammering out how to pursue racial reconciliation. So there I was at a Lifeway bookstore looking for commentaries on Proverbs to help with a new sermon series when I turned around and saw it, squeezed in tight between other books on pastoral issues. I thought to myself, “Well, I’ve never read this fellow, but the book looks perfect for this month,†and snatched up a copy of “Liberating Black Theology: The Bible and the Black Experience in America.†This 208 page paperback is written by Anthony B. Bradley, associate professor of theology and ethics at The King's College, Research Fellow for the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty, and a commentator on current issues for major broadcast media to include NPR and CNN/Headline News, and is for thoughtful adults, pastors, historians of Black History in America and theologians.“Liberating Black Theology†is meant to be an introductory foray into black liberation theology, teasing out many of its clear ideas and some of its subtle nuances. Bradley’s evident focus is “on the role that victimology has played in the rise and fall of black liberation theology†and that this view of perpetual victim is its “major flaw†(14). The author unpacks, in five out of his six chapters, how this starting assumption of victimhood has played out in, on the one hand, adopting Marxism as an ethical framework in black liberation theology, and on the other hand, fostered an “ever-greater separation from the Scriptures as well as from the mainstream black church†(189). The historical and ideological study between the covers of this book is helpfully clarifying for all who are involved in making headway in the areas of Biblical justice and racial resolution within Christ’s Church.Though Bradley brings out helpful correctives all the way through the book, it’s in the sixth chapter that he pointedly maps out the way forward, “Is There a Future for Black Liberation Theology?†Here is a plan that “is not grounded in a victimized black identity but is grounded in the necessary trajectory of God’s redemptive mission†(180). The author sketches out five areas that are essential to moving black liberation theology back onto a solid foundation that will enrich the whole of Christ’s Church, and bless the black church in America. The starting point is to return to the absolute of the Trinity, and then to embrace unequivocal place of the primacy of biblical authority. Next, flowing from the first two items is to reaffirm human dignity that is substantiated by our being created in the image of God, instead of race. Bradley moves on and points to the importance of rediscovering the balanced biblical doctrine of sin, which is both personal and social. And finally, formatting the concept of justice that is in keeping with the bigger story of God’s redemptive mission, because social action “and evangelism are works of the church in the world. But social justice issues, while vital, do not constitute the totality of what God intends for a covenantal relationship with his people and his world†(189-90).What a way to spend most of Black History Month, to be reading “Liberating Black Theology†written by an African-American thinker and theologian! This book is essential reading by denominational movers and shakers who want to help their denominations make godly, wholesome strides in racial reconciliation; for black and African theologians and pastors who desire to fortify their people; as well as Anglo and Hispanic and Asian theologians and pastors! This introductory work on the subject could well become a sound and solid entry point for better ways of thinking and acting on ethnicity in the church, and race within society. I warmly commend this book!
Good read-Anthony Bradley does a wonderful job of providing a critical analysis of Black Liberation Theology from the likes of Cone and others who eisegete scripture to fit within their theological framework.
Every American must read this book. Until I attended a speech by the Rev Dr Jeremiah Wright on February 19, 2015, I had no idea what "black church" and "black theology" referred to. However, I think they refer to the consequence of James Cones books in 1969 and afterwards, renewed in 2010. The idea is that the fact that white Christianity did not come to the aid of American slaves is evidence that the Christian god is black and black Americans (not other blacks) will reign supreme. That being accepted, no black should allow himself or herself to be influenced by "whitey," a term that extends beyond persons to a culture of Western Bible interpretation. It is a brand of Marxism; it encourages the individual to dedicate her/his lifetime to a separatist culture based on a narrow view of the past that can rob the individual from collaboration with a civic people in this land to enjoy for now and the future the possible combination personal liberty and domestic goodwill. I have no idea how many Americans are influenced by black liberation theology.
Awesome!! May be the most informative book I have read on the subject. great analysis and documentation supporting the author's assertions. Highly recommend to anyone seeking to understand Black Liberation Theology.
Wow... as an aspiring member of the African-American clergy this critique helps me see where I need to focus. It exposes the flaws in liberation theology at the presuppositions level and then provides a remedy to fix it. Amazing.
I often wondered what "black liberation" theology was and this book explained it very well. The book details its origin and what it means in today's context including Jeremiah Wright.
Great book, so far this author has gone to great lengths to reveal how easy it is for us to be manipulated into believing anything that fits our comfort zone!
My book club and I will love reading this book. Thanks for sending it in a timely manner.
Everything I expected and more. A must read for African-American ministers at such a time as this!
