A timely reawakening of a foundational conversation. The Defects Of The Negro Church is an explicit, humane probing of faith, community, and reform that reads with the immediacy of today's debates about faith and society. This concise, scholarly collection maps a historical sociology of religion through a rigorous, often blunt African American church critique. It threads theology and church reform with sacred and secular tensions, revealing how religious institutions have shaped, and been shaped by, early twentieth century America. Far from a dry treatise, the work is a living scholarly reference resource, with the influence of W. E. B. Du Bois and the tradition of the American Negro Academy informing every page. It is also a valuable university syllabus material, offering essential context for readers drawn to urban church life, the aspirations of religious reform, and the wider project of cultural self-definition. For casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike, this edition promises more than a reprint. It is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, restored for today's and future generations. Alpha Editions brings back a critical voice from African American urban churches, ensuring the book remains a relevant guide for scholars and engaged readers exploring the intersections of religion, society, and race in early twentieth century America.
