Power , Church and Identity

What role did the church play during slavery? What is the church doing now to correct those wrongs? Power, Church, and Identity articulates the complicit role of the church in Caribbean history as it relates to slavery, colonization and post colonization. This book presents a timely examination of the far-reaching negative effects of poor, incomplete theology and the hijacking of the Bible for financial gains. It offers a bold yet insightful critique of the faith that was deposited through colonial frameworks and simultaneously constructs a path that leads to self-determination for the reader. Power, Church, and Identity illumines the negative realities of hidden and camouflaged power and calls for continued vigilance. The approach is practical, reconciliatory and stimulatingly engaging for those who are the custodians of power as well as those who are oppressed by it.
