Dr. Lewis Brogdon, Executive Director of BSK’s Institute for Black Church Studies, has released a groundbreaking new book. In The Gospel Beyond the Grave: Toward a Black Theology of Hope. Brogdon “brings the history and experiences of Black people to bear on eschatology. Not only questioning why Black people have been ignored from the consideration of last things, he argues that a theologically sound eschatology must include a divine reckoning for slavery and racism. Brogdon also gives a fresh contextual lens to Christ’s reconciliatory work that provides hope for our salvation from the sins of racism and a future together in a new heaven and new earth.”
Dr. Miroslav Volf, Henry B. Wright Professor of Systematic Theology, Yale Divinity School, and Founder and Director of the Yale Center for Faith and Culture, reccommends Brogdon’s book by saying,
“A vital and bright contribution to the study of eschatology — a vision of a new world in which we all will embrace each other that takes seriously our individual and collective sin and injustice. We need Brogdon’s honest and fierce account of both reconciliation and of God, a just and incommutable lover of us all.”
