The Golden Band: African American Spirituals and the Hermeneutics of World

Asante U. Todd

( Eerdmans )

An innovative reading of the Spirituals that synthesizes African American public and religious thought with musical aesthetics

In The Golden Band: African American Spirituals and the Hermeneutics of World, author Asante Todd synthesizes African American public thought, religious thought, and musical aesthetics. Drawing on these rich resources, he develops an original theomusicology grounded in antebellum Spirituals. Through detailed analysis of the Spirituals’ musical and compositional features, he shows how they critique the cultural logic of sovereignty and open up possibilities for other ways of thinking and being in the world. Innovative and insightful, The Golden Band is a remarkable contribution to African American public theology.

The Gospel Beyond the Grave: Toward a Black Theology of Hope

Lewis Brogdon

( Cascade Books )

Will Black lives matter beyond the grave—at history’s end and on the day of judgment? In The Gospel Beyond the Grave: Toward a Black Theology of Hope, Lewis Brogdon brings the history and experiences of Black people to bear on eschatology. Not only questioning why Black people have been ignored from the consideration of last things, he argues that a theologically sound eschatology must include a divine reckoning for slavery and racism. Brogdon also gives a fresh contextual lens to Christ’s reconciliatory work that provides hope for our salvation from the sins of racism and a future together in a new heaven and new earth.
