초록/해제  
요약 : Before the World Council of Churches in 1968, James Baldwin remembered how his stepfather, David Baldwin, an one-time Baptist minister, died because of his “unreciprocated love for the Great God Almighty.” This dissertation engages that aspect of Baldwin's work that involves the substance and character of this unrequited love for a Christian god that is depicted as both silent before black suffering and as white—i.e., actively opposed to the flourishing of black life. So, despite Baldwin's consistent portrayal of black holiness culture as a full of energy and passionate life, he sees the principal backdrop to black people's conversion to Christianity in the United States to be shame and not hope.
초록/해제  
요약 : This basic claim shapes a critical stance adopted here that displays the anatomy of a black evangelical consensus that crystallizes only after the Civil War with the establishment of institutional churches and begins to falter after the black freedom movements of the 1960s. This stance tracks not only the limitations of a black evangelical tradition that emerges from compromised, exilic beginnings, but engages this same black folk traditions' demands for God's judgment against the privileged who continue to hurt the weak. In a language that celebrates the reality of hell and divine judgment, Baldwin participates in a rhetoric directly informed by black evangelical traditions that call down judgment on those who in an attempt to maintain their social identity of whiteness, willfully deny their own moral and often biological connection to those of African descent that they continue to exploit; they continue a quest for moral purity even as they sully themselves with how they enjoy the fruits of privilege produced from the backs of black people. The quest for justice revealed in a Christian rhetoric that has animated black evangelical traditions since the beginning and that Baldwin employs, suggests a posture of resistance that still fails to overcome the extent to which Christianity has contributed to African disfigurement.
