“Eschatology” is the part of theology concerned with death, judgment, and the final destiny of the soul, and of humankind. And it’s at the heart of “The Gospel Beyond the Grave: Toward a Black Theology of Hope”, the new book from Dr. Lewis Brogdon, Executive Director of the Institute for Black Church Studies at Kentucky Theological Seminary in Louisville. The book raises some important, very penetrating, provocative questions. Lewis Brogdon is Gerald Smith’s guest for this latest in his Eastern Standard series on racial justice and equality.
