Southern Baptist seminaries have embraced a theology of resistance—at least during the month of February. Last February Southeastern hosted an event to Give Voice to Malcolm X and Martin Luther King. This February there will be a presentation by Dr. Reggie Williams, a scholar who praised Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.
Williams is author of Bonhoeffer’s Black Jesus: Harlem Renaissance Theology and an Ethic of Resistance. He will speak at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, according to a tweet from a school official.
On Twitter, Williams praised two pastors who were of particular influence on his life and work.
