- Summary:
- Black theology as a self-named discipline and a radical form of Christian practice emerged in its present form in the USA in the 1960s. Although there has been a Black presence in Britain since Roman times, the often troubled existence of Black people in Britain can be traced to the Elizabethan era and the influx of Black slaves from Africa and the Americas. This text seeks to outline the development of Black theology in Britain from the 18th century through the contemporary era. By means of reinvestigating popular texts and previously unpublished, groundbreaking material, the editors offer a comprehensive and challenging interpretation of the development of Black theology in Britain.
