Dr. James Cone - Black Liberation Theology Scholar on Faith in Action Monday, March 31, 2008
Faith in Action has just confirmed that Dr. James Cone, Distinguished Professor of Systematic Theology at Union Theological Seminary, will be our featured guest on the radio program (WWIN Spirit 1400AM) on Monday, March 31, 2008 1PM - 2PM EST.
Dr. Cone, considered by many to be the father of Black Liberation Theology, is probably best known for his ground-breaking works, Black Theology & Black Power (1969), A Black Theology of Liberation (1970), God of the Oppressed (1975), and Martin & Malcolm & America: A Dream or a Nightmare? (1991).
In light of the national discussion of Dr. Jeremiah Wright, democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, and the character of Black preaching, I am honored to bring to the Faith in Action family a discussion with a man who can speak most authoritatively about the unique character of the Black Church and its Liberation Theology.
Tune in Monday, March 31, 2008 on Spirit 1400AM (Baltimore) from 1PM - 2PM EST as we speak with professor, author, and lecturer - Dr. James Cone.
In the meantime, enjoy this clip of Dr. James Cone at Tavis Smiley’s State of the Black Union 2003.
