Marshall Turman is Assistant Research Professor of Black Church Studies at Duke Divinity School and the director of the Office of Black Church Ministries. \u00a0She looks at how the Black Church has been, and in many contemporary quarters, remains an institution of rebellion again injustice and an outspoken opponent of racism. \u00a0However, it has also been and remains a place that oppresses Black women by denying their gifts for ministry. \u00a0Marshall Turman explores how such a juxtaposition can exist by looking at the ways in which the Black body is an American problem that is also a theological problem that can breed sexism that functions behind the veil of race in Black Churches\u2014a challenging read that is well worth the effort.<\/span><\/p>\n
