by Craig S. Keener (Author), Glenn Usry (Author)
Craig Keener and Glenn Usry's highly acclaimed Black Man's Religion showed in impressive detail that Christianity and Afrocentricity can go together. Now they turn to specific, nitty-gritty questions put to the black church by non-Christians:
- Is everything good in Christianity plagiarized from traditional African religions?
- Isn't it intolerant to say Christ is the only way to God?
- Is the Bible reliable?
- What about criticisms of Christianity made bythe Nation of Islam?
Keener and Usry meet these and other important questions head-on, providing responses relevant to and especially for black men and women.
