"I want to work with people who would join me…cheering…across the street while the white Jesus exploded. When I founded The New Theology School a number of years ago, I did so with the idea of training and fostering community amongst people who were willing to stand up to the false Gods of traditional religion…who were willing to boldly stand on the side of justice. In time, the community started to grow. In such a space, I met Dr. Yoel Omowale. After hearing his yearning for a world beyond white spirituality and all its’ erasures, I knew I’d found a coconspirator. When we started talking about creating theology together, we constantly talked about what it would mean to make the world more colorful…not less. In our conversations, it became apparent that God was doing something different. God seemed to be providing us with some dynamite to blow the face off of the stained-glass Jesus. The explosive result is this book…BLACKOLOGY…a beautiful theological treatise of a world beyond the white Jesus…a world made whole by color."

-The Rev. Dr. Jeff Hood, Dean, The New Theology School
