Description
"Jacqueline Luqman not only reframes our understanding of John Brown's legacy, but positions his overlooked radical spirituality as an invitation for us all to embody. Luqman challenges us. She demands that we be as critically impatient, as morally maladjusted, and as keenly attuned to the unjust order of things as John Brown was." --Jamall A. Calloway, author of Imagining Eden: Black Theology and the Search for Paradise, and senior minister of Plymouth Congregational Church, Washington, DC "Jacqueline Luqman offers a provocative reexamination of John Brown that urges white Christian communities to confront the moral complexities of justice and violence. This book places Brown within the moral failing and ardent convictions of his era, challenging readers to weigh prophetic faith against the costs of armed action. We Need John Brown Christians is a timely call to confront white Christian nationalism with rigorous accountability and compassionate advocacy." --Rev. Patricia H. Fears, senior pastor, Fellowship Baptist Church, Washington, DC
