Produktbeschreibung
Patterson describes New Faith as a black Christian woman's guide to "Reformation, Re-Creation, Rediscovery, Renaissance, Resurrection, and Revival." Her book argues that black women must possess New Faith for their survival and future. New Faith is based on a womanist view of Jesus Christ and urges women to seek a better existence for themselves through two goals: eradicating unnecessary suffering and implementing corrective love. Unnecessary suffering, she believes, is the remit of miseducation by the historic black church. It has taught black Christian women to suffer for the sake of their men, just as they are to suffer for Christ's sake. Corrective love remedies the madness induced by unnecessary suffering. It helps black women develop and intolerance for the negatives, such as sexism and racism, that historically have impeded them. This remarkable text combines the theological passion of black womanism, as seen in other Fortress Press volumes, with savvy and pizzazz; it identifies and addresses the religious realities that underly personal familial, and societal maladies and dilemmas.
