Black Theology course - Introduction, Prof. Tom Baskett

YouTube version of this podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fxfYFehdro&t=5sWelcome to Highrock's Black Theology course, available on Highrock Online's YouTube channel and the Theology Lab (a Highrock Ministry) YouTube channel. This video introduces the Black Theology course. Tom Baskett, professor at Berklee College of Music, introduces the course and what viewers can hope to get out of it. Highrock’s Black Theology course explores how the faith experiences of Black Americans open up distinct ways of reading Scripture, shed light on the gospel’s liberating power, and model the importance of social engagement for all Christians. Central to this class is the theological claim that the faith of Black Americans is a gift to the whole church. Black Theology is a great course for anyone who wants to become better equipped at relating their faith to everyday life and the prophetic call to solidarity and the ongoing work of God’s justice. In short, this class is not only about learning, but an invitation to transformation and encounter with the living God.Link to the discussion guide for the Black Theology course is available here: https://live-highrock-network.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/DiscussionGuideBlackTheology2022v2-1.pdfLearn more about Highrock church at www.highrock.orgLearn more about Theology Lab highrock.org/theologylabPodcast includes original music ("Imagination") written by Dean Payla, produced by PALA.#blacktheology #blackchurch #faithandtheology
