James Cone was an extraordinary man. He put the oppressed clearly at the center of the Bible.

Not religious but I respect his work!

I miss him terribly! Thank God for the legacy he left with us! Rest in peace my brother! I look forward to seeing you on the other side!

Cone gave voice, to the too often voiceless, who were left to be dehumanized and bastardized by Western Christendom, along with an enslaved mindset! Peoples of African descent in America have been liberated, from a theological perspective, which has brought forward a consciousness free of 'incarcerated-ness'! Thank you so very much!

Where does Rev.Albert B Cleage in your opinion in this new age theology?

It's Senator Warnock now! That's incredible!

Very good friend oh thank you

Every blackman christian world wide must adopt this theology. Black Muslims need to adopt the nation of Islam version of Islam to liberate ourselves

Wish I could’ve met him, ESPECIALLY since he was said to be “not religious”.

"Until we can see the cross and the lynching tree together, until we can identify Christ with a 'recrucified' black body hanging from a lynching tree, there can be no genuine understanding of Christian identity in America, and no deliverance from the brutal legacy of slavery and white supremacy.” ― James H. Cone, The Cross and the Lynching Tree

Well we live in a divisive race based world, black liberation theology serves the interests of black people, whites don't label their institutions by color none the less as far as religion goes their theology is white liberation theology serving the interests of white people and most black people participate in it and even preach it

The man was a looney toon... "There is no use for a God who loves white oppressors the same as oppressed blacks. We have had too much of white love, the love that tells blacks to turn the other cheek and go the second mile. What we need is the divine love as expressed in black power, which is the power of blacks to destroy their oppressors, here and now, by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject God’s love. Cone, James H.. A Black Theology of Liberation

So many “theologies” so little time - I’d simply like to know if these people really believe in God. Like, do they believe that God created the universe as described in Genesis? Do they believe in Noah’s flood? Do they believe in Jesus’ virgin birth and His resurrection?

Interesting but claiming God and Jesus are black is that not creating an isolation between all of the other races? And if we're to look at it historically Jesus was from Judea and would have been by definition Middle Eastern.

John Coutilien how do you even come to the conclusion that if God exists he would be of any particular race? And further how can you be so naive to not think that that concept is isolating people from each other? Setting aside the lack of any historical evidence. Also consider you're assuming a Jew from Judea was black. It doesn't seem very believable. Tbh I don't think it matters whether he's white or black personally or red green Supernatural ethereal or a bunny rabbit.

Don't you think if it don't matter it wouldn't be in the Bible, Revelation 1 verse 14,15. Jeremiah 8 :21, Song of Solomon 1 :5, Job 30:30, Daniel 10:5, Acts 13:1, there is a reason why these verse are in the Bible, Genesis 2verse 7, Jeremiah 14verse 2 The Jews are blacks.... So if it don't matter my friend why the Caucasians race enslaved black people n took our nationality, there is a group of people in the middle East right now claiming they are us they say they are Jews but they not... Read Revelation 2:9, 3:9.

Isaac Chay we were, King David, Solomon and more etc the last black King we had was before the Renaissance which is why white people call it The Dark Ages King James was a black man.

Please do not call him Jim Cone.

Wow. So racist.

Heresy, and faulty doctrine. He remade theology in a pan-africanusm ethnocentricism
