註釋BLACK EVANGELICAL IDENTITY incisively defines African-descended identity in an evangelical vein, and explains its six indispensable tenets of faith. The discussion tackles racial, cultural, Biblical, and theological issues, stressing the holistic substance of this unique identity. Here is a very authentic '¿¿pro-Black and -Christ'¿¿ identity-statement of the Black evangelical collective'¿¿'¿¿...spiritually impassioned African-descended '¿¿Good News messengers'¿¿ of the resurrected Lord, Jesus Christ'¿¦.'¿¿ It is historical, ideological, and apologetical.Twelve chapters appear in four sections: I '¿¿ Advocating Identity, II '¿¿ Appreciating Context, III '¿¿ Affirming Beliefs, and IV '¿¿ Accepting Culture. Addresses: theology, biblical beliefs, evangelicalism, race relations, cultural identity/unity, diversity/multi-culturalism, and reconciliation. Amidst an adverse white evangelical socio-political context, it explores contentious issues in defining identity for African-descended evangelicals. This Christ-centered, cordial discussion of identity affirms core Biblical-theological beliefs, and advocates accepting black racial-cultural constants in the formation of genuine black evangelical thought and practice. The message makes several novel and refreshing contributions to the task of Black evangelicals in their attempts to genuinely define themselves. It (1) crafts a composite identity-statement; (2) provides a biblical/theological exposition of six indispensable tenets of Black evangelical faith (to be contrasted with the commonly held beliefs of historic white evangelicalism); (3) offers principles of cultural diversity that work to preserve the integrity of Black peoplehood; and (4) promotes a '¿¿unity of identity'¿¿ to strengthen Black evangelicals, to bridge relationship with '¿¿implicit evangelicals'¿¿ in the Black experience, and to foster substantive reconciliation from a black perspective with their white evangelical counterparts.
