Dramatizing Theologies

A Participative Approach to Black God-Talk

Search within full text

Black theology has flourished within the academy. Its theories, however, have not always translated into practical use for Black people. Dramatizing Theologies outlines the strong practical dimension of Black theology. Combining Black theology with dramatic, dialogical sketch material, the book produces an accessible approach to Black theological dialogue. The chasm between the academy, church and grassroots communities is overcome through the use of drama. Dramatizing Theologies offers a unique methodology for Black theological conversation with the poor, marginalized and disenfranchised.

"Dramatizing Theologies represents a practical and theoretical model for real oppressed people to participate in building theology. This is a must read!'"

Dwight N. Hopkins

"For sometime now liberation theologians have sought to allow the drama of Black life to provide the raw material for theological discourse. Reddie succeeds at this task as he articulates and analyses the drama of Black existence in Great Britain. He allows us to listen in on conversations among many persons whom were considered voiceless. Original and imaginative. Reddie charts a new future for Black theology.'"

Noel Leo Erskine
