John Cobb’S Liberating Work From The Perspective Of Black Theology, Theodore Walker
John Cobb’S Liberating Work From The Perspective Of Black Theology, Theodore Walker
Perkins Faculty Research and Special Events
John Cobb offers “a critical view of inherited theology” (1980), and an affirmative answer to the question “Has Europe become theologically barren?” (2002a). He prescribes listening to alternative theological voices, including black, feminist, Latin American and Native American voices demanding liberation from oppression and poverty. He is critically attentive to continuing connections to colonialism and slavery. He offers a Martin-Luther-King-Jr.-like witness concerning the abolition of poverty globally. Hence, John Cobb is doing liberation theology and liberation ethics.
