Zusammenfassung:"First reconstructs the culutral matrix of African American religion, a total way of life formed by Protestantism, American culture, and the institution of slavery (1619-1865). Whites from Europe and Blacks from Africa arrived with specific, differing views of God, faith, and humanity.

The counter voice of enslaved blacks is the birth of the Spirit of liberation." -- Back cover.
