Embodiment and the New Shape of Black Theological Thought (Religion, Race, and Ethnicity)

Embodiment and the New Shape of Black Theological Thought by Anthony B.

Pinn is a groundbreaking book that offers a fresh approach to black theology by focusing on the body as a physical entity, rather than just a metaphorical one.

This innovative text takes into account the experiences of a material, fleshy reality and interrogates traditional source materials for black theology, such as spirituals and slave narratives, seeking to link them to materials such as photography that highlight the theological importance of the body.

By employing a multidisciplinary approach spanning from sociology to art history, Pinn pushes black theology to the next level and offers a new way of thinking about race, gender, and sexuality.

With endorsements from leading scholars such as Cornel West and James H.

Cone, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in black theology and the intersection of religion and culture.
