Beschreibungen
Provocatively explaining the political and social phenomenon of white supremacy as a religion and providing a theology of redemption for disparaged communities affected by it, this book is a collection of personal and academic essays that challenge popular notions of American exceptionalism. A little bit of everything, a mixtape in the tradition of DJ Clue, episodic and rhapsodic, lifting a panoply of voices in an unexpected way, it wrestles with theology and philosophy alike, blending poetry with narrative nonfiction and memoir. It is a creation of a new and expressive literary experience that is as tragic and triumphant as the Black experience is in America--a groaning that cannot be uttered.
Tony Baugh is an essayist and educator from Portsmouth, Virginia.
“Tony Baugh, our newest and most articulate public intellectual, has written here a searing portrayal of where we are, why we are, and who we are in the United States of America in 2021. It is a cliché to state that America is at a crossroads. But there we find ourselves, facing the fearsome truth that ancient problems of injustice remain unresolved. Fortunately, Baugh is there to guide us to recognition, resolution—and ultimately, reconciliation.”

<br> “With tremendous reach and power, Tony Baugh synthesizes centuries of thought on Christology. Undergirded by scintillating attention to the twists and turns in the development of christological theologies and the quest for the historical Jesus,
<i>Groan in the Throat</i> brings readers to a transformative understanding of Christ. Baugh’s amazing talent for excavation exposes overlooked dimensions of the meaning of Christology that powerfully speak to what it means to be human. Besides, he brilliantly locates Christology on a thought terrain that enables us to theorize post-humanity.”
