About this listen

The cross and the lynching tree are the two most emotionally charged symbols in the history of the African American community. In this powerful work, theologian James H. Cone explores these symbols and their interconnection in the history and souls of black folk.

A raw, amazing, challenging book that requires both an inward and corporate reflection on our collective history. My ignorance on many of these issues is clear - heartbreaking stories from a so called 1st world country that demands that I reflect (and act) on my own country's history. Theology as it should be.

Amazing, raw, challenging - theology at its best
