RELIGIO US HISTORY THE GROUND HAS SHIFTED The Future of the Black Church in Post-Racial America
WALTER EARL FLUKER
“Walter Fluker is the towering theorist of the Black Church and the unapologetic lover of the black prophetic tradition. This powerful and timely book is sophisticated, subtle, and rich. And it soars with a deep, long memory alive in the present – a present that reeks of a ‘cultural asylum’ that he notes the Black Lives Movement is shattering!” —Dr. Cornel West $35.00 • 304 Pages • Cloth • 978-1-4798-1038-3 In the Religion, Race, and Ethnicity series COTTON CAPITALISTS American Jewish Entrepreneurship in the Reconstruction Era
