Abstract

Based on a talk delivered during the 2011 Annual Meeting, Dr. Nilson engages James Cones’ recent book, The Cross and the Lynching Tree, which Cone describes as the culmination of his life’s work. Nilson critiques this important contribution to black theological scholarship in an essay that is part review, part response to Cone’s invitations to dialogue with white theologians.
