Echoes from the Mecca and the capstone: Christianity and social justice at Howard University / Cheryl J. Sanders -- Black futures and black fathers / Vincent Lloyd -- Shall we awake? / Jennifer Harvey -- The American nightmare and the gospel of plunder / David Evans -- What does he mean by, "They believe they are white?" / Reggie Williams -- Hope's vagaries: how Ta-Nehisi Coates and Vincent Harding convinced me that hope is not the only option / Tobin Miller Shearer -- Between the tragic and the unhopeless: Coates, anti-blackness, and the tireless work of negativity / Joseph Winters
Between the world of Ta-Nehisi Coates and Christianity there appears to be the widest difference. Coates's brief comments on Christianity in his highly acclaimed Between the World and Me make clear that religious faith is alien to his own experience. Still, Christian audiences from congregations to theological schools engaged the text for its analysis of the state of race relations in the United States. In September 2015, Ta-Nehisi Coates tweeted, 'Best thing about #BetweenTheWorldAndMe is watching Christians engage the work. Serious learning experience for me.'This volume takes that tweet as an invitation to theologians, ethicists, and religious studies scholars to engage the book, and as a challenge to do so in a way that is a learning experience for Coates, the authors, and readers
