Our pent-up anger and rage fills our households and spills over into our neighborhoods and streets, leaving African American families who live in poverty and with limited capability to ward off shame and self-contempt as its unfortunate victims.\u003c\/p\u003e ADVANCED PRAISE FOR \u003ci\u003eTHEOLOGY FOR A VIOLENT AGE\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"There are many ideas in this little volume and they are meaningful.

All Black thinkers, from intellectuals and scholars to teachers, preachers and parents to mental health workers, futurist and community activist, who have struggled with the dilemma of DuBois's double consciousness and the significance of religion in the Black community, both of which I believe have never been properly understood, will find \u003ci\u003eTheology for a Violent Age\u003c\/i\u003e informative, insightful, and a strong provocation and challenge for the reader to continue to seek the core essence of being Black and the \u003ci\u003esearchlights\u003c\/i\u003e necessary to envision our full humanity as more than reactions to white supremacy and racial domination and oppression. \u003ci\u003eTheology for a Violent Age\u003c\/i\u003e is deserving of a critical read and methodical application against the problems of our time.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDR.
