Rev. Wright and Black Liberation Theology
While the public/media conversation regarding Barack Obama and his relationship to Rev. Jeremiah Wright has perhaps moved on for now, there are still some interesting aspects to that topic that are worth considering. As the media played (over and over again) clips of Rev. Wright in the pulpit, the term Black Liberation Theology was mentioned a number of times. That term and all that it entails probably was not familiar to most people, including many in the media, such as talk show host,Glenn Beck. Glenn Beck interviewed Anthony Bradley on CNN Headline News to get his quick perspective on Black Liberation Theology. Anthony Bradley is a research fellow at the Acton Institute and an assistant professor of theology at Covenant Theological Seminary. It is worth watching the video below and then doing some more research on your own to learn more about it.
After you watch this video and do some research on your own, let me know what you learned and what your thoughts are on it. I'm also going to post a question or two in the Just A Thought forum that will expand further on Black Liberation Theology.
