"This brief essay seeks to reflect on the contextual background and cultural milieu that surrounding the writing of Jesus is Dread, the first fully articulated Black theology text in Britain. The author, who is now an accomplished and respected film maker and television presenter, was the first Black person to teach Black theology as a fully fledged, academic discipline within theological education and ministerial training in Britain. This essay offers some nascent thoughts on the Construction of this text, highlighting the reasons for its development, and the influences that enabled it to come to life. The latter part of the essay outlines the author's subjective analysis on the continuing developments in the Black theology in Britain movement since the emergence of Jesus is Dread in 1998."
