Summary: | Black Bodies and the Black Church: A Blues Slant is the latest book from Kelly Brown Douglas, professor of religion and director of the Religion Program at Goucher College and author of several equally challenging and prophetic books on the black church, including The Black Christ (1994), Sexuality and the Black Church: A Womanist Perspective (1999), and What's Faith Got to Do With It?: Black Bodies/Christian Souls (2005). As with her previous work, Black Bodies and the Black Church is direct, specific, engaging, and controversial., The crux of this slim volume is that the black church has betrayed its historic and spiritual roots by attacking and denying full communion to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) individuals. |
