Kellemen Reviews Glory Road

Bob Kellemen at RPM Ministries offers a gracious review of Glory Road: The Journeys of Ten African-Americans into Reformed Christianity.  Kellemen is a good student of African-American theology and church history and offers a warm critique of Glory Road.

For my part, I think Glory Road could be one of the most important, helpful, and encouraging books published in the last ten years on African-American Christianity.  I think its warmth, humor, honesty, and theological integrity

could be a winsome tool in capturing the hearts of many people who have not come to know the wonderful truths and history of the Reformed tradition.  If you haven’t read this book, rush out and make it a stocking stuffer or New Year’s read.  It’ll reward you.

    Thank you Pastor Thabiti for this link. “Glory Road” is indeed one of the top ten books of the past ten years on African American Christianity. I would also include on that list your two books, “The Decline of African American Theology,” and “The Faithful Preacher.” Plus Eric Redmond’s Where Are All the Brothers.” It would be helpful to create a complete top ten list. I wonder which additional books you and your readers would add for: “The Top Ten Books of 2000-2009 on African American Christianity”.
