Summary:"Black Theology and Pedagogy investigates the continuities between the classroom and the Black church and uses Black theology as resource for education. Traditionally, Black theologians were careful not to adopt the exclusionary approach of white religionists and made sure to be inclusive in their approach to their major themes and arguments. Taking this history into consideration, Erskine asks the critical question of what it means to include the stranger, the person of a different race, ethnicity, or culture in the classroom. This book engages theology as a means to create and sustain a compassionate and diverse community and argues that the stranger must be embraced both in the academy and church."--BOOK JACKET.
