Description for Said I Wasn't Gonna Tell Nobody: The Making of a Black Theologian
Review 'In this memoir, James Hal Cone--that most private of theologians--shares with us the story of a soul forged in a loving home, formed in the faith of Macedonia AME Church, 'disturbed by blackness,' tested by adversity, sensitized by human suffering, poured out in teaching and in writing. His life and work continue to push us, rouse us, inspire us to integrity in thought, speech, and action in authentic achievement of beloved community. We praise God that James Cone testified what the Lord did for him!' --M. Shawn Copeland, Boston College, and co-author of Uncommon Faithfulness: The Black Catholic Experience.'Cone's autobiography is extremely readable, written in his clear and precise prose. Like the man himself, there is not an ounce of rhetorical fat. And while there are glimpses of Bearden, Arkansas, and Macedonia AME Church, the formidable spaces which shaped the younger Cone, this autobiography considers the James Cone of Union Theological Seminary fame. Said I Wasn't Gonna Tell Nobody is the story of James Cone, the scholar; a man aware of his rightful place in the canon of American theology. Cone dedicates his memoir to the 'students and faculty of Union Theological Seminary, who challenged and inspired' him for nearly half a century. It is the story of how, as Cone writes, 'black theology found me and gave me voice.'' --Yolanda Pierce, in Religion and Politics'If there was ever a time we needed James Cone with his powerful prophetic voice to call down thunder, that time is now.... Said I Wasn't Gonna Tell Nobody testifies to a message that we sorely need. If we fail to listen to Cone and allow his words to live in our hearts and our actions, we fall short of our Christian vocation to love our neighbors and to liberate the captives, the marginalized, and the oppressed.' --Christian Century Read more About the Author James H.
