Overview

This work focuses on the implicit theological aspects of the #BlackLivesMatter movement. It examines, in conversation with theologians, the movement's early published tenets in order to determine their implicit God claims. The study, conducted by a Pentecostal bishop, puts Black Liberation, Womanist, and Queer Liberation theologies in conversation with the praxis of the movement. An ecumenical group of Black pastors from across the United States met in an effort to determine the viability of the God claims of the movement in the life of the Black Church. As the research progressed, a new theological expression emerged as the real praxis of the movement; i.e., intersectional theology. This study project concludes with an exposition of the main points of this intersectional theology.

Donalson's The #BlackLivesMatter Movement is an important analysis of the theology and ethical perspectives of Black pastors and scholars regarding the most significant liberation movement of our era. He reveals--through the outcomes of his survey and focus group material--the ways Black Christian leaders consistently challenge theological equality for LGBTQI+ people while demanding justice for all other Black lives. Donalson's book is a great resource and reminder of the work that must continue. --Pamela Lightsey, Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs, Associate Professor of Constructive Theology, Meadville Lombard Theological School While some have given us a wide range of thoughts and opinions around the current surge of movement work, very few have provided us an opportunity to do the deep theological #BlackLivesMatter reflection presented in this timely offering. Dr. Donalson's work is both a gift to the academy but also to those of us doing faith-based justice work in the public square. --John Selders, Co-Founder, Moral Monday CT
