Theology and Black Panther
Description
In this edited collection, Matthew Brake and Reverend Kimberly Hampton and their contributors argue that Marvel Studios' Black Panther was not only a cultural phenomenon but theologically rich.
This volume considers Black Panther's role in the age of Black Lives Matter; Afro-Futurism and Theology; Black Panther, Mysticism, and Black Pentecostal Experience; Portrayals of African religion in Black Panther; Violence and Liberation: Echoes of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King in Killmonger and Black Panther.
