Synopsis
A collection of essays and stories documenting the lived theology and spirituality we need to hear in order to lean into a more freeing, loving, and liberating faith—from the hosts of the beloved Truth&’s Table podcast&“The liberating work of Truth&’s Table creates breathing room to finally have those conversations we&’ve been needing to have.&”—Morgan Harper Nichols, artist and poet Once upon a time, an activist, a theologian, and a psychologist walked into a group chat. Everything was laid out on the table: Dating. Politics. The Black church. Pop culture. Soon, other Black women began pulling up chairs to gather round. And so, the Truth&’s Table podcast was born.In their literary debut, co-hosts Christina Edmondson, Michelle Higgins, and Ekemini Uwan offer stories by Black women and for Black women examining theology, politics, race, culture, and gender matters through a Christian lens. For anyone seeking to explore the spiritual dimensions of hot-button issues within the church, or anyone thirsty to deepen their faith, Truth&’s Table provides exactly the survival guide we need, including: • Michelle Higgins&’s unforgettable treatise revealing the way &“racial reconciliation&” is a spiritually bankrupt, empty promise that can often drain us of the ability to do real justice work• Ekemini Uwan&’s exploration of Blackness as the image of God in the past, present, and future• Christina Edmondson&’s reimagination of what a more just and liberating form of church discipline might look like—one that acknowledges and speaks to the trauma in the room These essays deliver a compelling theological re-education and pair the spiritual formation and political education necessary for Black women of faith.
