We often say that insights from other cultures and groups are not just good… but necessary! In Black History Month we put some meat on the bones of this claim by talking about some of our favorite Black theologians and what we have learned from them: Carl Eliis Jr., Emmanuel Katongole, and Esau McCaulley.

We highlighted these works this week:

Carl Ellis Jr., Free at Last

Emmanuel Katongole, Born from Lament

Esau McCaulley, Reading While Black

And Esau’s NYT article, The Bloody Fourth Day of Christmas
