A Thoughtful Acceptance<\/h2>\n

I hope we\u2019re seeing a resurgence in the embrace of reformed theology among African Americans. I hope the glorious doctrines of Scripture are spreading more widely, rapidly, and deeply among all of God’s people, in particular my kinsmen according to the flesh.<\/p>\n

Throughout history, African Americans have not blindly or uncritically appropriated or adopted theology. There has been an interrogation of reformed theology with a concern for Christian ethics and witness.<\/p>\n

Bringing Together Good Theology and Social Justice<\/h2>\n

What I think I\u2019m seeing is the marriage of historical, orthodox, reformed theology with a centuries-long concern for justice, witness, and mercy. I think the two enrich each other. A big sovereign God who rules the universe has great joy and confidence in advancing the cause of righteousness, mercy, and justice. Mercy and justice have a way of adorning the gospel of our Lord.<\/p>\n
