Islam and the Problem of Black Suffering

Islam and the Problem of Black Suffering by Jackson, Sherman A.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780199368013.

The problem confronting theology in the black community is not simply proving that God exists but, rather, that God cares. For the Muslim, it is essential that such a theology be grounded in the Quran and Islams theological tradition. The Blackamerican Muslim, meanwhile, must also vindicate the protest-oriented agenda of black religion. These are the tasks Sherman Jackson undertakes in this path-breaking work.
