Black Theology

About this video

Anthony Reddie discusses Black Theology. Reddie, raised in a religious household, grappled with faith amid societal discrimination and church-related issues of inequality. University studies and community work in Birmingham shaped his interest in theology, leading to a focus on practical theology for black liberation. His doctorate in education emphasized developing curricula empowering African Caribbean youth through faith. Rejecting traditional theology paths, he values real-life engagement over theoretical analysis, aligning with his perspective of a theology grounded in identity and social justice.
