American Prophets: Seven Religious Radicals and Their Struggle for Social and Political Justice Hardcover - 2016
by Albert J. Raboteau
From the rear cover
"Albert Raboteau is the legendary godfather of Afro-American religious studies. He also is one of the exemplary spiritual radicals of our time. This wise and courageous book solidifies both well-deserved reputations."--Cornel West
"Albert Raboteau's magnificent American Prophets is a book that will make our hearts soar. Courageous, wise, and deeply compassionate, Raboteau's prophets are political activists--Jews and Christians, blacks and whites, men and women--imbued with a deep faith in God and humanity. An inspiring journey into the inner lives of extraordinary human beings."--Susannah Heschel, author of The Aryan Jesus: Christian Theologians and the Bible in Nazi Germany
"Albert Raboteau has written a powerful book for these troubled times. With biographical sketches and insightful analyses, he has called forth 'a cloud of witnesses' to illustrate the power of faith and courage in the ongoing confrontation with evil. This is a must-read for anyone who needs an example of faith in action. More importantly, it is a must-read for anyone willing to work for a better world."--Eddie S. Glaude Jr., author of Democracy in Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul
"American Prophets addresses, beautifully and with great wisdom, issues and questions that have again jumped to the forefront of American consciousness. Raboteau is a wonderfully accessible and graceful writer, and his topic is riveting."--Cathleen Kaveny, author of Prophecy without Contempt: Religious Discourse in the Public Square
"Compelling. Raboteau renews our understanding of what prophetic thought--and calls to action--really look like."--Barbara Dianne Savage, author of Your Spirits Walk Beside Us: The Politics of Black Religion
"A powerful text, empowering to read. I highly recommend it."--Tavis Smiley
