Book Description
Demby believed African American assimilation into the white Episcopal church was paved with education and moral rectitude. Thus his move toward integration and equality accommodated more than challenged the status quo. His rise to assistant Episcopal bishop for "colored work" in Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and New Mexico, provides depth to the larger American experience of segregation promulgated as a social good. Demby worked diligently to hire black priests, baptizing and confirming communicants, and building schools and other institutions of community service as a way to draw African Americans back to the Episcopal church. His ministry, writes Beary, "represents the zenith and the demise of Jim Crow in the Episcopal Church." Beary is an independent scholar, an Episcopalian, and former instructor at Lyon College.

Book Description
"What is the relationship," James Cone asks, "between my training as a theologian and the black struggle for freedom? For what reason has God allowed a poor black boy from Bearden to become a professional systematic theologian? As I struggled with these questions...I could not escape the overwhelming conviction that God's spirit was calling me to do what I could for the enhancement of justice in the world, especially on behalf of my people. 'My Soul Looks Back' chronicles the author's grappling with these questions, as well as his formulation of an answer--an answer that would lead to the development of a black theology of liberation. Firmly rooted in the black church tradition, James Cone relates the formative features of his faith journey, from his childhood experience in Bearden, Arkansas, and his father's steadfast resistance to racism, through racial discrimination in graduate school, to his controversial articulation of a faith that seeks to break the shackles of racial oppression. In describing his more recent encounters with feminist, Marxist, and Third World thinkers, James Cone provides a compelling description of liberation theology, and a vivid portrayal of what it means to profess "a faith that does justice".

Book Description
"The Colored Man in the Methodist Episcopal Church" by Lewis Marshall Hagood was originally published in 1890 and was, at the time, an important piece of non-fiction regarding the large number of African-Americans who converted to Methodism. This book recounts the religious history and connection between the African-American population and the Methodist church spanning from the time of the earliest slaves in the United States of America all the way to the post-Civil War era of American history. Though this book was almost a forgotten piece of history, it's once again available for the public to read to learn about this important part of American history.
