Summary: In this interpretive history of the American Church, Carl Ellis traces the maturing of Black consciousness from slavery days to the present, noting especially the contributions of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X.
Running through African-American history are traces of a theological soul dynamic, an authentic incarnation of Christianity in Black Culture. In this dynamic faith, says Ellis, African-Americans will find true freedom in God’s grace.
Free at Last? is by far the best book I have ever read on African American History. It is history at its best: beyond saying what happened, it tells us who we are, as Americans, and tells us how to find God in all the rubble of the American legacy, that we live in and participate in.
