Full Description
This book develops a comprehensive account of Black Atlantic Theology, grounded in the life and witness of Jamaican freedom fighter Sam Sharpe. Through four dimensions: Genealogical, Philosophical, Ethical, and Theological, it explores how Black Atlantic faith traditions respond to histories of slavery, colonialism, and resistance. At the heart of the book is the 1831-32 Sam Sharpe Revolt, a decisive moment in the abolition of slavery that remains theologically underexplored. Drawing on thinkers such as Albert Raboteau and Charles Long, the book highlights the transnational character of Black religion, connecting people of African descent across the Atlantic. It offers a theology of liberation that critically reflects on the past while envisioning a more just and humane future. Ultimately, this is a work of historical retrieval and constructive theology, illuminating how Black Atlantic faith traditions inform the pursuit of liberation, the reimagining of humanity, and the hope for a more just world. It is a perfect read for scholars interested in liberation theology, Black theology, as well as those interested in the interaction of religion and power.
