The Black Church has long served as a source of Black socio-political leadership. Many Black churches that participated in civil rights activism—and Martin Luther King Jr. himself—were strongly motivated by the (Black) social gospel. Additionally, in 1969 James Cone developed Black liberation theology—a synthesis of Black Power and Black theology. In his writings, he explained that by saying “Christ is black!” he meant that Jesus identifies with the Black struggle for justice and dignity. Rev. Raphael Warnock, senior pastor of Atlanta’s historic Ebenezer Baptist Church and the first African American to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate, studied both the (Black) social gospel and Black liberation theology. This chapter analyzes how the two streams of theology have influenced his political views, decisions, and actions, and how he interprets their influence.
