Remembering the theologian who took on the hypocrisy of the white church | CNN
When James Cone died Saturday at 79, he was remembered as a theological giant. Cone made Christianity accessible to many people of color who had dismissed it as a “white man’s religion.” He was the father of “black liberation theology,” which argued that God was closest to those who were oppressed and despised. Cone spoke to CNN in 2012 about his faith and his upbringing in the segregated South. This story first appeared on CNN’s Belief Blog:
