A Queering of Black Theology Reviews

EL Kornegay, Jr's A Queering of Black Theology performs for the reader as it plays an enchanting and griping song out of the primary writings from James Baldwin. No author has delved into Baldwin's raw cords of prophecy and pain to harmonize a hope out of race, sex, and religion. Every now and then a writer offers us a new song to sing, a new tune to hum. Kornegay has coopted Baldwin into his band of pioneering blues-jazz-soul knowledge.

- Dwight N. Hopkins, co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to Black Theology
