"Out of such different voices as the political philosophy of Martin Luther King, black power, and black nationalism, the social science of William Julius Wilson and Nathan and Julia Hare, the music and dance of Stevie Wonder and the blues, black womanist theology, and the preaching of his own home church, Walker conducts a choir that is more than a chorus in a hymn that is more than a song. The words call for a common struggle for comprehensive social empowerment, black family by black family, and black church by black church, as he sets an agenda for the 1990s. The rhythm and the harmony are his own as, on occasion, is a clear and strong solo voice." Philip E. Devenish, University of Chicago Divinity School

As advanced by astronomer-cosmologist Sir Fred Hoyle, astronomy, biology, astrobiology, astrophysics, and cosmology converge agreeably with natural theology. In The Big Bang and God, these interdisciplinary convergences are developed by an astronomer collaborating with a theologian.

Contributes a black Atlantic perspective to postmodernism, theology, and metaphysics. Bringing a black Atlantic approach to constructive postmodern efforts to understand and transcend modern worldviews and modern world orders, Mothership Connections draws upon the work of scholars in the tradition of W. E. B. Du Bois, Charles H. Long, Alfred North Whitehead, and Charles Hartshorne. The author shows that connections to the originating influences of transatlantic slavery and black Atlantic experiences are essential to any adequate account of modernity and postmodernity. He also argues that metaphysics is essential to theology and moral theory, synthesizing neoclassical metaphysics and black theology to develop a black Atlantic account of metaphysical aspects of struggle, power, and ethical deliberation.
