Soul Liberation: Black Christian Intellectual Engagement with Black Power
Throughout the Civil Rights movement, Black Christians figured prominently as clergy, leaders, and foot soldiers in the struggle. As a result, the presence of Black Christians during this phase of the Black activism is well-documented by historians. During the Black Power era, however, scholars tend to overlook the ongoing presence and significance of Black Christians in the movement. Soul Liberation corrects this omission by studying Black Christian engagement during the Black Power movement of the 1960s and 1970s

âHoliness Abolitionism: Christians Modeling Racial Justice:â A Dialogue on Race and Faith
A few Christians in the 19th centuryâparticularly those connected with Oberlin Collegeâacted boldly and courageously to end slavery and promote racial equality. Those who did so grounded their activism on Holiness theology and devotional practices derived from the Wesleyan tradition. The Walls Lecture this year will be a panel presentation given by four professors who have been engaged in a scholarly project known as the Dialogue on Race and Faith. The goal of the project has been to study this historical movement and to draw out implications for the Christian church today
