Unfinished Business: Black Women; the Black Church and the Struggle to Thrive in AmericaBy Troy of AALBC . comIn this age of mega-churches and prosperity theology; it is natural to wonder how many members of the black clergy even bother to minister to the needs of the least of the their brethren anymore. That question came to intrigue Professor Keri Day; Director of Black Church Studies at Brite Divinity School; after noting that Christianity is now a very different experience for sisters; depending on their social class.Annotated and academic in tone; this book was written more for a college-educated crowd than a mass audience. That being said; the feminist author does approach her subject-matter with an admirable zeal; making a case on behalf of not only black females but of women of any ethnicity who find themselves on the outside looking-in when it comes to capitalism.Read the full review and more book reviews from AALBC.com on your Kindle Edition3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
