| Summary: | Slavery was an assault on black humanity, including the black body. Theological education paired with and shaped by slavery embodied the same type of violence through its mission and curriculum, that is, the sanctified erasure of black personhood, Christianity, and scholarship.

The key exploratory question will be, "What would theological education look like if it was reimagined through the lens of these black human wounds?" |
