Bonhoeffer’s Black Jesus: Harlem Renaissance Theology and an Ethic of Resistance
Dr. Reggie Williams’s book Bonhoeffer’s Black Jesus: Harlem Renaissance Theology and an Ethic of Resistance is an analysis of influence on the German pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer to Harlem Renaissance intellectuals, and worship at Harlem’s Abyssinian Baptist.
Dr. Williams’s research interests include Christological ethics, theological anthropology, social ethics, the Harlem Renaissance, race, politics and black church life. His current book project includes a religious critique of whiteness in the Harlem Renaissance. In addition, he is working on a book analyzing the reception of Bonhoeffer by liberation activists in apartheid South Africa.
Dr. Williams received his Ph.D. in Christian ethics at Fuller Theological Seminary in 2011. He earned a Master’s degree in Theology from Fuller in 2006 and a Bachelor’s degree in Religious Studies from Westmont College in 1995. He is a member of the board of directors for the Society for Christian Ethics, as well as the International Dietrich Bonhoeffer Society. He is also a member of the American Academy of Religion and Society for the Study of Black Religion.
Roots of Peace | February 24, 2024 | 2:00 to 4:00 PM | RSVP Here
Join us for an enlightening afternoon of understanding and unity at "Roots of Peace" on February 24th.
We warmly welcome you to a presentation by leaders of the Roots Initiative, a local Palestinian-Israeli movement dedicated to fostering understanding, non-violence, and transformation. Rabbi Hanan Schlesinger and Noor A’wad will share their personal journeys of cognitive dissonance and transformation upon encountering 'the other side,' shedding light on the groundbreaking bridge-building work of Roots. The focus of their work is to challenge assumptions, build trust, and create a new discourse surrounding the conflict in their respective societies. This grassroots and local model for change is a testament to the power of community-driven efforts to make a lasting impact.
