A Common Journey (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781608992058)

A Common Journey provides the first comprehensive critical comparison of two of theology's most influential movements: Black theology in the United States (BTUSA) and Latin American liberation theology (LALT). The near-simultaneous emergence and growth of these two movements is only the most obvious of the similarities between them. More importantly, both have fostered a new theology from the perspective of the disenfranchised, the powerless, and the oppressed. After twenty seven years in service as Pearl Rawlings Hamilton Professor of Systematic Theology and Academic Dean at the American Baptist Seminary of the West and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California, the author is currently serving as the Senior Pastor of the Imani Community Church in Oakland, California where he leads a community of faith that is dedicated to being agents of social transformation and liberation in the world.
