Thank you for taking the time to write an absolutely superb overview of womanist theology. I got a nice dose of it when I was in seminary at The Graduate theological Union but nothing really as deep and wide a perspective and also historical with as many great references as what you provide here this is really First Rate! It's simply addresses the issues but doesn't go overboard and doesn't get preachy or angry but provides really important information on an absolutely essential new wave of theology within the church that we all need to be listening to and learning from. Thanks, Mac
I love that you are doing this, Dr. C... these women have been balm to my white-theology-weary soul that struggles with colonized "church brain". One of my personal favorites is still No Crystal Stair by Diana Hayes, cause she reframes the whole Adam & Eve thing, which seems where much of the church-brain-craziness begins!
Thank you Dr. Walker Barnes for this curated list of reading. I will be adding them to my liberation library. I went to a pastoral installation for a Baptist church last week and was saddened by the fact that I was the only clergy woman on the program of 10 presenters, it was a Black men’s club. The work of enlightenment continues.
I greatly appreciate the list of books! I spent too many years as a white man reading mostly writings of other white men. I’ve been trying to make up for that during the past couple years.
Thank you for this. As a Haitian woman ordained as pastor this resonates with my journey. The questions I had forced me out of the community to learn more. I often find myself grieving because I can no longer be in the community that I love with what I’ve learned, who I am and who I’m becoming.
Beautiful insights and wonderful reading lists! I loved Red Lip Theology and certainly would add Wilda Gaffney's Women's Lexionary! Off to dig deeper. Thank you, as always!
When I think back on my own childhood, sitting in pews and questioning Bible passages, I had a father that reinforced the practice.
My dad grew up in a family of Quakers. He was encouraged to never take anything in the Bible as actual fact, since it was all interpreted through men. He instilled this in his children.
When my daughter attended Colgate-Rochester-Crozer Divinity School she found a spiritual home in a Womanist Theology course.
I appreciate this post. Since my daughter is temporarily storing her books from CRCDS, I may need to see if some of the books you shared are here in my house.❤️
Thank you for these recommendations. Yesterday I read your Woke Creed over and over and sent it to friends. Your writing hits deep. Your language for God is a lifeline. Your work is a gift. Peace to you.
