The Mount of Vision: African American Prophetic Tradition, 1800-1950
Hobson, Christopher Z. (Associate Professor of English, Associate Professor of English, SUNY College at Old Westbury, Old Westbury, NY)
Christopher Z. Hobson offers the first in-depth study of prophetic traditions in African American religion. Drawing on contemporary speeches, essays, sermons, reminiscences, and works of theological speculation from 1800 to 1950, he shows how African American prophets shared a belief in a "God of the oppressed:" a God who tested the nation's ability to move toward justice and who showed favor toward struggles for equality.
