Summary
"Innovative and lavishly illustrated, 'Painting the Gospel' offers an indispensable contribution to conversations about African American art, theology, politics, and identity in Chicago. Kymberly N. Pinder escorts readers on an eye-opening odyssey to the murals, stained glass, and sculptures dotting the city's African American churches and neighborhoods. Moving from Chicago's oldest black Christ figure to contemporary religious street art, [she] explores ideas like blackness in public, art for black communities, and the relationship of Afrocentric art to Black Liberation Theology.
