Tonight at Enoch Pratt Central Library in Baltimore at 6:30PM, Dr. James Cone, Professor of Systematic Theology at Union Theological Seminary (NY) will be speaking on this latest book, The Cross and the Lynching Tree.
Dr. Cone has been a great influence in my life via his classic books on Black Liberation Theology. His books fill my personal library…titles like God of the Oppressed, A Black Theology of Liberation, Malcolm & Martin & America, and Black Theology & Black Power.
Dr. Cone has inspired a generation of academics, local church pastors, and activists to think about our relation to God and God’s relation to us in different ways. He also challenges us to think about our connection to each other through the lens of justice, oppression, persecution, and liberation.
Taking nothing away from the great library of books which he has published in the past; I’m told that his latest title is one of his best. In fact, a few weeks ago, one of the conscious young brothers who I’m blessed to be in relationship with called me with heightened emotion to tell me that he had a spiritual experience while reading The Cross and the Lynching Tree. He said that he actually sensed The Divine speaking and moving him through the words on the page. That’s the “special-ness” of the gift called Dr. James Cone.
For all those who have any kind of interest in Black Liberation Theology and/or the Black Church; I would highly recommend that you make your way to the library tonight. Click here for more information.

Thanks again, my revolutionary brother! I saw your interview on KineticsLive and it was good. My own church was interviewed by them as well. Revs J. Alfred Smith, Jr. and Sr. of Allen Temple Baptist in Oakland Ca.
