Summary: "This book challenges Black religious and cultural critics to rethink theological and ethical approaches to homosexuality. Sneed demonstrates how black liberation theology and has often characterized homosexuality as a problem to be solved, and his work here offers a different way for Black religious scholars to approach Black homosexuality and religious experiences. Drawing on a range of Black gay writers from Essex Hemphill to J.L. King, Sneed identifies Black gay men's literature as a rich source for theological and ethical reflection and points Black religious scholarship toward an ethics of openness"--Provided by publisher
