Forged in the Fiery Furnace: African American Spirituality

Description:

Todays vibrant African American spiritual traditions have their roots in the lives of Africans who arrived as slaves in North America, bringing with them the richness and texture of their cultures and faith. In the words of Dr. Hayes, "The world view, traditions, stories, musicality, and religious beliefs of their African ancestors were preserved . . . built upon, syncretized with new understandings and ideas, and passed down from generation to generation, mother to son, father to daughter."

In eight chapters, Hayes describes the origins of African American spirituality, developments during slavery, the Civil War and Reconstruction, the periods of Jim Crow and the Civil Rights Movement; the manifestations of this spirituality in music and in the Black churches; the particular contributions of Black women; and the spirituality of key Black leaders.

Diana L. Hayes' Forged in the Firey Furnace is an excellent overview of African American spirituality from its African roots to its modern form throughout the African diaspora. Her sources are renowned scholars such as Albert Rabbateau, Peter J. Paris, John Mbiti, and others such as author Barbara Holmes. A good read.

Great!

4.0 out of 5 stars it was a delight.

Read as part of a college class. Not quite my cup of tea but as far as assigned reading goes, it was a delight.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a history buff

R.O. · November 15, 2022

Perhaps I would've liked it more if I liked history more. Much of it read as a rote recitation of events to me. But the subject matter was interesting nonetheless. If I could rate by chapter, I would give 5 stars to chapter 7. That is where Hayes's own theology and spirituality comes through the most.
