Christianity in the African American community has the potential to either liberate and transform society or simply maintain the status quo. This study examines whether the process of remythologizing the concept of God would be useful in aiding African Americans to form the church into a more suitable vehicle for economic, social, political and spiritual emancipation. African American theology must be a unique and authentic expression of the hopes, aspirations and needs of the African American community while at the same time remaining open to the ideas and promulgations of the global community. Chapter 1 illustrates Christianity was never intended by the slavemaster to serve as a liberation mechanism for the slave. Chapter 2 shows some early attempts by African Americans to remythologize the Christian message. Chapter 4 describes contemporary African American conceptions of God. Chapter 5, considering the history and present condition of African Americans in American society, provides the basis for remythologized synthesis.
