In African American culture, the church is instrumental in establishing and maintaining social order. Professor Paris shows that a study of black church teachings reveals black social ethics. These ethics aren't "abstract moral principles, but sociopolitical quests for liberation and freedom."
Peter J. Paris is Elmer G. Homrighausen Professor of Social Ethics at Princeton Theological Seminary.
