Dwight Hopkins, whose important work in Black Theology has mediated class theological concerns through the prism of African American culture, here offers a fresh take on theological anthropology. Rather than defined "the human" as one eternal or inviolable essence, however, Hopkins looks to the multiple and conflicting notions of the human in contemporary thought, and particularly three key variables: culture, self, and race. Hopkins' critical reframing of these concepts firmly locates human endeavor, development, transcendence, and liberation in the particular messiness of struggle and strife.
Dwight N Hopkins is Professor of Theology at the University of Chicago Divinity School. He is the author of Down, Up and Over: Slave Religion and Black Theology, Introducing Black Theology of Liberation and Shoes That Fit Our Feet.
