    Notes:
    "This essay makes what may seem an obvious case: that authentic Black British God-talk needs to urgently engage with the diverse religious landscape of which it is a part. In the process, the essay seeks briefly to scrutinize past and present Black British theological discourse, explore the overtures with regard to engagement with multi-faith and interfaith issues and offer some tentative observations and practical suggestions on the way forward."

    Notes:
    "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."

    Notes:
    "This essay argues that there are deep religio-cultural factors that underpin the varied ways in which many communities read and interpret the Bible. In this essay, I argue that by using a hermeneutical tool that is termed a 'A Black religio-cultural approach,' one can assist faith communities, in this case, African Caribbean communities in Britain, to have greater cognisance of the reasons why they interpret the Bible and particular sections of it in certain, distinctive ways."
