It is rarely the case that an intellectual movement can point to an individual figure as its founder. Yet James Cone has been heralded as the acknowledged genius and the creator of black theology. In nearly 50 years of published work, James Cone redefined the intent of academic theology and defined a whole new movement in intellectual thought. In Introducing James H. Cone Anthony Reddie offers us an accessible and engaging assessment of Cone's legacy, from his first book Black Theology and Black Power in 1969 through to his final intellectual autobiography I Said I wasn't Gonna Tell Nobody in 2018. It is an indispensable field guide to perhaps the greatest black theologian of recent times.

Anthony G. Reddie

Anthony G. Reddie is one of the leading black theologians in the UK today. He is Director of the Oxford Centre for Religion and Culture at Regent's Park College, University of Oxford and an Extraordinary Professor of Theological Ethics at the University of South Africa.

"As James H. Cone's former doctoral student and the first research assistant of his academic career, I can testify that Professor Reddie has written the most definitive book on James H. Cone. It captures Cone's thought, voice, and his key vocational concerns. And thank goodness it is both complex and readable together. Moreover, this work continues to solidify Professor Reddie as the leading black liberation theologian globally." -- Dwight N. Hopkins, "Anthony Reddie has done his mentor proud with this moving and insightful tribute to one of the great radical thinkers of the twentieth century. It is an excellent starting point for anyone with an interest in understanding Black Theology and its key foundational architect." -- William Ackah "Anthony Reddie is the ideal companion for those seeking to get to grips with James H. Cone's towering contribution to Christian theology. Reddie's excellent book provides an introduction to key themes and texts in Cone's work that is expert, accessible, and engaging." -- David Clough, University of Aberdeen, UK "This is a perceptive, passionate and engaging account of one theological pioneer by another. Anthony Reddie captures the intellectual excitement of James Cone's work and shows us why and how Cone continues to matter for the academy, the churches and wider society. " -- Rachel Muers
