Reviews and Awards
Named an Honor Book for Nonfiction by the Black Caucus of the American Library Association
"There is much to explore and celebrate about this long overdue update to the vast scope of African American theology, past and future. To be sure, this volume is for scholars and serious students as it offers an important, valid and expanded view of doctrines, internal debates and on-going challenges. To this end, the handbook's strength lies in its structure and in its use of womanist scholarship as more than an addendum, but rather as valuable and necessary contributors to African American theology."--Clemette Haskins, Anglican and Episcopal History
"Cannon and Pinn have assembled a who's who of contemporary African-American theology in a substantial volume, tracing its themes, debates, and future prospects. A wonderful resource to dip into or read straight through."--Christian Century
"In this monumental collection, Cannon (Union Theological Seminary and Presbyterian School of Christian Education) and Pinn (Rice Univ.) provide an assessment of the current state of African American theology, looking at it from an interdisciplinary and multi-faith perspective... Because of the breadth of the topics and the quality of the essays, this volume is destined to be a classic work in the field... Essential." --CHOICE
