In this conversation, Dr. Lynn Cohick interviews Khristi Lauren Adams to explore the themes of her new book, Womanish Theology: Discovering God through the Lens of Black Girlhood, and the need for diverse perspectives in theology. Khristi shares her journey through seminary, the challenges faced as a Black woman in a predominantly white male space, and the importance of recognizing the contributions of various communities to theological discourse. They discuss the significance of the Bible in shaping faith, the role of rituals in church life, and the complexities of salvation and sanctification. They also discuss theodicy in the context of suffering and the existence of evil, particularly for marginalized identities, while concluding with reflections on empowering young girls and affirming their identity as embodiments of the image of God.
