Black Theology: A Documentary History: 1966-1979

James H. Cone

Not only was I not exposed to James Cone or Black theology in seminary (except in the most negative light), to my recollection, we didn’t even read MLK. Not “I Have a Dream” or “Letter from Birmingham Jail” or “Where Do We Go from Here” not even in ethics classes. Nothing.
