UBUNTU and the Word : Writeontime : 9798218354312 : 06 Jan 2024 : A primer for Afrodiasporan theology. There is no way for one book to contain all that there is to know about the theologies of the peoples of the African Diaspora. UBUNTU and the Word is an African Diasporan quest for the truth, not just any, but the scriptural and spiritual truth for people who have been oppressed, marginalized, and disenfranchised. The biblical truth is not derived from stiff-necked doctrine or dogmatic orthodoxy. UBUNTU is the means to creating the Beloved Community. UBUNTU means "I am because you are" and "you are because I am." UBUNTU is about liberating the Bible from its white male cisgender Eurocentric hegemony. My hope is that this book will help us to develop healthier, more holistic relationships with our faith and with each other. The goals of UBUNTU and the Word are to serve as a bridge between everyday religious discourse and religious academia and to generate healthy spiritual dialogue.
