In this timely, much-needed book, theologian, social psychologist, and activist Christena Cleveland recounts her personal journey to dismantle the cultural “whitemalegod” and uncover the Sacred Black Feminine, introducing a Black Female God who imbues us with hope, healing, and liberating presence. For years, Christena Cleveland spoke about racial reconciliation to congregations, justice organizations, and colleges. But she increasingly felt she could no longer trust in the God she’d been implicitly taught to worship—a white male God who preferentially empowered white men despite his claim to love all people. A God who clearly did not relate to, advocate for, or affirm a Black woman like Christena. Her crisis of faith sent her on an intellectual and spiritual journey through history and across France, on a 400-mile walking pilgrimage to the ancient shrines of Black Madonnas to find healing in the Sacred Black Feminine. God Is a Black Woman is the chronicle of her liberating transformation and a critique of a society shaped by white patriarchal Christianity and culture. Christena reveals how America’s collective idea of God as a white man has perpetuated hurt, hopelessness, and racial and gender oppression. Integrating her powerful personal story, womanist ideology, as well as theological, historical, and social science research, she invites us to take seriously the truth that God is not white nor male and gives us a new and hopeful path for connecting with the divine and honoring the sacredness of all Black people.

"A woman's heart should be so lost in God, that a man has to find Him to get her."-Nuri Muhammad The wicked of this world see the Black woman as object of pleasure and perverse admiration mixed with toxic disdain, the truth is we are the most favored of women the world over. For we are Allah (God's) woman and His personal choice. All Praise is Due to Allah. Nuri Muhammad echoes his teacher, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, who echoes his teacher, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad in his new book, The Black Woman: The Second Self of God the Black woman must be respected and protected. The Black Woman: The Second Self of God takes an in-depth look at the Proverbs 31 Woman while simultaneously examining the Woman of Amram, Maryam, the mother of Jesus. Treating this subject matter with historical accuracy and modern application, The Black Woman: The Second Self of God seeks to focus the mind and the spirit of the Black woman on that which is real and unfailing, her relationship with Allah (God). In this latest offering, the reader will find humor, truth, and thought provoking ideas that challenge stagnation, false perceptions and ideological cowardice. In the Garden of the Beloved, every flower has a purpose and so too does every Black woman, for truly she is what she is: God's Second Self and All Praise is Due to Allah."God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day..." Pslams 46:5 Traci C. Muhammad

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had traveled to central France to see the Black Madonna of Mauriac, a dark-skinned version of the Virgin Mary. I had longed to see a sacred image of Black femininity, and I was finally able to do so. But I was also nervous about being punished for breaking the rules. #2 The delegitimizing stereotype of sloppy, dirty, lazy, and worthless is often used against Black people. And women have always been saddled with the mischievous stereotype, especially when we disregard social norms and do unthinkable things like call out a scholar’s racism. #3 I had to hide out in a European toilet room after setting off the alarm at the basilica of Mauriac. I knew I couldn’t hide my Black skin, so I tried to disguise myself by putting on a hat and black sunglasses. #4 I was eventually able to hide in a chocolate shop, and the owner, Martine, gave me a corner table away from the window. I was still on edge, waiting for the French police to burst in and arrest me.

"Sex, Race, and God is the impassioned manifesto of a white feminist's reckoning with the meaning of race-including her own whiteness-in doing theology. We should be discussing, and acting on many of Thistlethwaite's insights for quite some time. She has made a vital contribution to the feminist theological enterprise and to the critical relationship between back and white women in it."-Carter Heyward"Sex, Race, and God is a sincere attempt to listen to and learn from African-American women. . . a serious and largely successful effort to create a method that addresses differences rather than proposing wishful commonalities. Many women of color will find it promising a basis for dialogue."-The Women's Review of Books"This pivotal book illuminates a significant ongoing debate at the intersection of two fields: contemporary theology and feminist studies."-Choice"Thistlethwaite does what so few white feminists have done: genuinely interact with (and learn from) the strong differences in experience and perspective between African -American women and European-American women."-The Other Side

A collection of essays and stories documenting the lived theology and spirituality we need to hear in order to lean into a more freeing, loving, and liberating faith—from the hosts of the beloved Truth’s Table podcast “The liberating work of Truth’s Table creates breathing room to finally have those conversations we’ve been needing to have.”—Morgan Harper Nichols, artist and poet Once upon a time, an activist, a theologian, and a psychologist walked into a group chat. Everything was laid out on the table: Dating. Politics. The Black church. Pop culture. Soon, other Black women began pulling up chairs to gather round. And so, the Truth’s Table podcast was born. In their literary debut, co-hosts Christina Edmondson, Michelle Higgins, and Ekemini Uwan offer stories by Black women and for Black women examining theology, politics, race, culture, and gender matters through a Christian lens. For anyone seeking to explore the spiritual dimensions of hot-button issues within the church, or anyone thirsty to deepen their faith, Truth’s Table provides exactly the survival guide we need, including: • Michelle Higgins’s unforgettable treatise revealing the way “racial reconciliation” is a spiritually bankrupt, empty promise that can often drain us of the ability to do real justice work • Ekemini Uwan’s exploration of Blackness as the image of God in the past, present, and future • Christina Edmondson’s reimagination of what a more just and liberating form of church discipline might look like—one that acknowledges and speaks to the trauma in the room These essays deliver a compelling theological re-education and pair the spiritual formation and political education necessary for Black women of faith.
