Embracing the Spirit: Womanist Perspectives on Hope, Salvation, and Transformation

Once again, Emilie Townes brings together essays by leading womanist theologians, interweaving a concern for matters of race, gender, and class as these bear on the well-being of the African-American community. Her emphasis is not on evil and suffering, but on "hope, salvation, and transformation" for individuals and their communities. 325 pp.
