Book Reviews of A Black Theology of Liberation (Ethics and Society)
Book Review: None are free, until all are free
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a "10" in it's dealing with Liberation Theology but Cone deals exclusively with the topic of liberation. Heaven, Hell, the millenium, eschatology, revelation are all ignored. For Cone, Christian Theology means nothing if it doesn't help free the oppressed in America now. The promise of a far off heaven where everything is wonderful does nothing to releive that pain that oppressed Black Americans feel today. He asks if he should stand by and watch the children suffer while telling them to be patient and wait for the promised land. Cone connects Jesus with his plight when he says that God chose to reveal himself as a poor, oppressed Jewish carpenter-not some one wealthy and powerful.He admits his own shortcomings in the preface for not dealing as effectively as he could have with women's and other minorities issues. His focus is freedom for Black America-for this he makes no apologies!
