The Spirituals and the Blues by James H. Cone
4.0
This was definitely my favorite Cone book for two reasons.
First, I think he elaborates more on what eschatological hope means in his theology. It's a topic that comes up frequently in his writing and it was good to hear some elaboration.
Second, Cone virtually articulates certain aspects of Christus Victor atonement theory VERY clearly. For this reason, I find his theology a bit more tenable because it can be connected to Orthodox Christianity (Christus Victor being the main atonement theory until Anselm).
Overall, a great read.
