Reading Black Books with Claude Atcho

The invisibility of black people in Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man; the desire to belong that is displayed in Toni Morrison's Beloved....what do these and other Black works of art tell us about our spiritual beings and what can we learn about ourselves from these literary pieces? 

Pastor and teacher Claude Atcho offers a theological approach to 10 seminal texts of 20th-century African American literature.  Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man and Richard Wright's Native Son;  to Zora Neale Hurston's Moses, Man of the Mountain and James Baldwin's Go Tell It on the Mountain and Toni Morrison's Beloved. 

While many of these works of art were not written with a spiritual lens Atcho takes the time to study each from such a perspective.
