Description
In Truth's Table's debut book, co-hosts Ekemini Uwan, Christina Edmondson, and Michelle Higgens offer stories by Black women and for Black women exploring theology, politics, race, culture, and gender issues through a Christian lens. For anyone seeking to see the spiritual dimension the hot-button issues within the church today, or anyone thirsty to deepen their faith from a perspective free from white supremacy, Truth's Table: The Book provides exactly the survival guide we need today.
This collection of essays delves into such never-before-shared stories and insights as:
- Ekemini Uwan's examination of life as a single Black Christian woman
- Michelle Higgins's unforgettable treatise revealing the way "racial reconciliation" is a spiritually bankrupt, empty promise that can often drain us of the ability to do real justice work
- Christina Edmondson's essays that explore the anatomy of the apology, and what grace actually means in our culture--and why it's as costly as it is freeing.
Drawing from the authors' expertise and experience in theology, public justice, mental health issues, and so much more, each topic will be anchored in a particular passage of Scripture that grounds and guides the conversation, resulting in an honest discussion of culturally timed topics rooted in the biblical story and each writer's story.
By delivering a compelling theological re-education, tenderly chronicling the sacredness in Black women's spirituality, and covering thoughtful insights on womanism and Black feminism, Truth's Table: The Book pairs the spiritual formation and political education necessary for any BIPOC Christian--and anyone seeking to decolonize the Christian faith.
