What Shall We Say About These Things? A Theo-Anthropological Reflection

Authors

Abstract

A discussion of COVID-19’s effects on the African American community and the white supremacism integral to Donald Trump’s administration. In responding to those events theologically, the essay suggests that anthropology, rather than “revelation,” grounds theology and thus deprivileges the Christian fundamentalism that has supported Trump. That Black folks’ future depends on their ethical praxis—qua “a love supreme”—rather than creation’s eschatological renewal is integral to the argument.
