Faith, race, and the church under scrutiny

D. Danyelle Thomas examines white supremacy within Black Pentecostal religious life through the intersecting lenses of race, gender, sexual expression, and class. The book combines personal narrative with cultural analysis, placing critique alongside reflection on decolonization and reconciliation. Its central question concerns what liberation might mean when people are no longer asked to deny parts of themselves or one another. This paperback edition also includes “Pray for the USA,” an essay that frames prayer as spiritual protest in response to Christian nationalism.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in Black faith and spirituality
  • Readers exploring race, gender, and social justice in religious communities
  • Those interested in cultural critique that combines personal narrative and theology

Book overview

Centering Black faith and spirituality, The Day God Saw Me as Black is a genre-defying cultural critique of white supremacy within the Black Pentecostal religious experience.

In this groundbreaking work by public theologian and sought-after cultural strategist D. Danyelle Thomas, you will journey with the author as she examines The Church through the lenses of race, gender, sexual expression, and class--blending sharp cultural analysis with personal narrative. It is both a critique and a meditation, a study in decolonization and a call for reconciliation.

The Day God Saw Me as Black dares to imagine what could be possible if we stopped denying ourselves--and each other--the fullness of liberation.

Now in its first paperback edition, this release includes "Pray for the USA," an exclusive essay that reclaims prayer as spellwork and spiritual protest when Christian nationalism masquerades as God.
