Flourishing in Babylon

More about the book

Exploring the themes of agency and self-determination, this work challenges the traditional narrative of Black theology centered on oppression. Joe Aldred reinterprets Jeremiah's letter to Jewish exiles alongside his Pentecostal background to present a new perspective on the Black British experience. He emphasizes a realized eschatology that encourages empowerment and identity, suggesting that within a diasporan context shaped by empire, there is a path to flourishing that embraces growth and development without regret.
