Dr. Josef Sorett (STH’00) published Black is a Church: Christianity and the Contours of African American Life.
The book overview states:
- Stretches the presumed boundaries of “the black church” and underlines the polyvocal nature of a phenomenon often assumed to be monolithic
- Supplies a firm foundation for deeper understanding of what constitutes Afro-modernity through historical narratives, close readings of primary texts, and theoretical grounding
- Highlights the centrality of religion, religious expression, and religious institutions within ostensibly secular phenomena–both within American culture and within the field of black studies more specifically
