Black ecclesiology in the writings of James H. Cone

This thesis explores the writings of James H. Cone in regard to black ecclesiology and the theology of the black church as a reflection of the true gospel of Jesus Christ, which is a liberation theology. In his writings, Cone affirms the history of white supremacy and the systems of white politics and religion provided the impetus for the establishment and evolution of the black church founded on the principle that the gospel of Christ is necessarily a black gospel in that it parallels the struggles and liberation of an oppressed people.
