Ep. 039 | A Primer on Black Liberation Theology & BLM w/ Virgil Walker— TAU Roundtable

June 20, 2020 by TAU Roundtable

George Alvarado, Chuck Ivey, and Michael Coughlin are joined by Virgil Walker from the Just Thinking podcast to discuss Black Liberation Theology and its connection to the Black Lives Matter organization. Many are not aware that Black Lives Matter has some of its roots in Black Liberation theology, making it a theological issue, not just a socio-political issue. So we decided to create this primer to help anyone who seeks to understand the theological underpinnings of this movement.

On this episode, we discuss: What is the history of Black Liberation Theology? Who was James Cone? What was his view of the atonement? Was he a heretic? What is the connection of Black Liberation Theology to the Black Lives Matter movement? How should we respond as Christians? And much more…

How To be a Fake Christian

Writing a post like this is somewhat difficult because I want to maintain balance. On one hand, I don’t want to crush the assurance of genuine Saints. One of the hardest places to be as a true Christian is struggling with whether or not we are really Believers. It’s not my goal to bring unnecessary […]

When the Elect Suffer

The problem of despair and depression is fundamentally a spiritual problem, even if the world and its systems disagree.  Solutions will be found in Scripture; and when we examine God’s inerrant Word we see that God treats these things exactly as we’d expect: a spiritual problem.  That is not to say that depression makes one a […]
