Black life in the context of Christian spirituality

Andrew Prevot’s essays bring African American spiritual sources, including the Spirituals, into conversation with Christian traditions of prayer, mysticism, and asceticism. The book’s range also includes figures such as Angela of Foligno, John of the Cross, and Ignatius Loyola. Across these subjects, Prevot advances a theological argument that Black people are made to be loved and that practices contrary to this conviction conflict with true Christian spirituality. The collection therefore connects traditions of devotion with a direct claim about Black life, love, and the meaning of Christian faith.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Black Christian theology and African American spirituality.
  • Those exploring Christian prayer, mysticism, and ascetic traditions across historical sources.

Book overview

These original essays by Andrew Prevot focus on the relationship between Black life and Christian spirituality. He draws on sources of African American spirituality, including the Spirituals, as well as other sources of Christian prayer, mysticism, and asceticism, including Angela of Foligno, John of the Cross, and Ignatius Loyola.

The central thesis of this learned and original work: Black people are made to be loved. This is God's unambiguous will, and anything that contravenes it is incompatible with true Christian spirituality.
