Speaking the Truth addresses topics of Black Theology and its relationship to other Christian theologies (especially liberation theology) and secular ideologies, the role of the Black churches in American history, Christian faith, and political praxis, and the unique features of Black worship in this collection of essays first published in 1986. James H. Cone argues that there can be no comprehension of the gospel apart from God's so0lidarity with the liberation struggles of the poor, because the freedom of the victims on earth is a sign of God's intention to redee4m the whole creation. "As ambassadors of Jesus Christ," he writes, "Christians have no choice but to join the4 movement of liberation on the4 side of the poor, fighting against the structures of injustice."
