Description
God Is a Black Woman by Christena Cleveland is a powerful exploration of faith and identity. After years of speaking about racial reconciliation, the author found herself questioning the God she had been taught to worship - a white male deity that seemed to perpetuate hurt and oppression. Cleveland's journey took her on a 400-mile walking pilgrimage to ancient shrines in France, where she sought healing in the Sacred Black Feminine. Along the way, she delved into history, theology, and social science research to understand how America's collective idea of God has shaped society. Her story is one of liberation and transformation, as she invites readers to reconsider the truth that God is not white nor male. This book offers a new path for connecting with the divine and honoring the sacredness of all Black people. With its unique blend of personal narrative, womanist ideology, and scholarly research, God Is a Black Woman is a timely and necessary critique of our society's understanding of God and its impact on racial and gender oppression.
