Description
Sanders studies the worship practices and social ethics of the African American family of Holiness, Pentecostal, and Apostolic churches known collectively as the Sanctified Church. She explores several major themes in African American religious and intellectual life from the "exilic" perspective of the Sanctified Church tradition, including the impact of gospel music upon popular culture, the relationship between black religion and black power, and the ecumenical, egalitarian witness of the Christian faith.
Reviews / Votes
Those who have an affinity for or an interest in the culture of black holiness and Pentecostal churches will gain rich new insights and historical background from Sanders's work. * Christian Century * A valuable piece of work that will fill a void in current scholarship on black church culture. Her 'insider' perspective pays off in insights often missing in black theology. * Robert Franklin, Candler School of Theology * A major contribution to an area of African-American religious studies where there is a great void in the literature....This is definitely very good and very important. * Cheryl T. Gilkes, Colby College * Sanders' study is a very carefully drawn portrait of African American religious experience, and her use of the dialectical axes offers considerable insight and analysis that makes this volume a must read. * Christian Sociologist Newsletter *More details
