"A Crossroad book."

Includes bibliographical references and index.

In his reflections on God, Jesus, suffering, and liberation, James H. Cone relates the gospel message to the experience of the black community. But a wider theme of the book is the role that social and historical context plays in framing the questions we address to God as well as the mode of the answers provided.

Speaking the truth -- The social context of theology -- Biblical revelation and social existence -- Black theology and ideology -- Who is Jesus Christ for us today? -- The meaning of liberation -- Divine liberation and black suffering -- Liberation and the Christian ethic -- Liberation and reconciliation.
