Anthony Bradley has assembled a team of scholars and religious leaders to provide a distinctly Christian perspective on what is needed for black communities to thrive from within. In addition to the social and structural issues that must be addressed, within black communities there are opportunities for social change based on God's vision for human flourishing. Covering topics like the black family, hip-hop, mental health, mentoring women, masculinity, and the church, this book will open your eyes to fresh ways to participate in solutions that will truly set black America free. Although the Black Lives Matter movement keeps the church on the margins, the authors in this volume believe that enduring change cannot happen unless God speaks directly to these issues in light of the kingdom"--Back cover. 4aAfrican Americans xSocial conditions y21st century. 4aAfrican AmericansxConduct of life. 4aAfrican AmericansxReligious life.1 aBradley, Anthony B.,d1971-  2lcccBK  00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oE185.625 .W48 2020pPNLIB21060349r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK  c535d535
