Sing a New Song: Liberating Black Hymnody

By Jon Michael Spencer

Jon Michael Spencer's bold book steps into the intersection of African American life and Christian traditions. He tracks ways in which distoritons within the biblical and theological traditions-notably their biases and myths about gender, race, and class-have infected even black Christianity. His learned and eloquent plea for a more critical Christianity has important implications for all churches.
