In this book, well-known womanist theologians explore the persistent and perennial question of evil and suffering in compelling new ways. Committed to an integrated analysis of race, gender, and class, they also address the shortcoming of traditional, feminist, and Black theologies when dealing with evil.

Vigorous and forthright, A Troubling in My Soul is must-reading for students, scholars, and others interested in African American, women’s and contemporary religious studies.
