520 _a"Combat false teaching in the Black community. For centuries, millions of people in the Black community have found meaning and the restoration of their dignity in the Black church. Yet today, many young African Americans are disinterested in Christianity and are leaving the church in search of a more ethnically indigenous spirtuality. They are increasingly attracted to the Black 'conscious community' and groups like the Hebrew Israelites, Black atheism, the Egyptian (Kemetic) spirituality, and practitioners of African mysticism--where revisionist history, conspiracy theories, and misinformation about Jesus and Christianity are rampant. Edited by Dr. Eric Mason and featuring a top-notch lineup of contributors, Urban Apologetics is the first book focused entirely on the sects and ethnocentric ideologies prevalent today in the Black community. It introduces readers to each of these alternative religious groups and provides practical tools to engage them apologetically and combat false teaching"--page 4 of cover.
520 _a"Urban Apologetics equips pastors, churches, and everyday believers to engage, understand, and love African Americans who are involved in ethnocentric ideologies and black mystery cults"--
