Reading Black Books
We've talked recently on Chris Fabry Live about the rich history of African American biblical messages and the Black musical tradition. What do we learn from reading Black books? Pastor and author Claude Atcho takes us through the works of Ralph Ellison, Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Zora Neal Hurston, and others to hear how their stories sharpen our theological thinking.
