What has the Black church to do with public life?[electronic resource] /Anthony B. Pinn. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2013. - 1 online resource.

Early efforts to be Black and Christian in public -- Growing a religious agenda for public life -- Golden age of Black churches in public -- Black church's public profile, an assessment -- Testing my claim: a response to religious progressives -- Restating the claim.

The calling for them to have a major place in public discourse and their critiques demanding their silence in public if not their total destruction. This book offers a creative and compelling way to think about this dilemma. Unlike some, it does not deny the effort on the part of such organizations to be involved in public discourse and public policy; instead, it argues this interest is insufficient. Drawing attention to the basic elements of organizations such as black churches b6 s theology, organizational hierarchy, and so on b6 s Pinn argues these churches (and other religious organizations by extension) are not structured in such a way as to allow participation in the public arena in ways that appreciate and nurture the diversity of that arena. Instead, Pinn calls for recognition of their value in the private life of some, but their failure to have usefulness within the public arena.
