Synopsis "Frederick Douglass: Precurson to lib Theology (Voices of the African Diaspora)"
FREDERICK DOUGLASS: A PRECURSOR OF LIBERATION THEOLOGY deals with the evolution of Frederick Douglass's philosophical and theological development. This book is another paradigm that expands the debate and places Douglass s thought in a more appropriate context, namely, anticipating liberation theology. Since no consensus exists about Douglass s philosophical and theological development, Reginald F. Davis attempts to settle a dispute in Douglass studies that revolves around his religious odyssey and, in particular, the character and cause of his philosophical and theological development. The dispute among scholars is concerned with where to locate Douglass on the theological spectrum. Some scholars identify Douglass as having moved away from traditional forms of Christian millennialism, which elevates not the human agent, but an omnipotent God who apocalyptically intervenes in human affairs and history. Still others interpret Douglass as having moved outside the circle of theism to Enlightenment humanism. There is also an unsettled debate about the cause of Douglass s theological shift. One view attributes Douglass s shift to a psychological factor of rejection by White Churchmen over his support for radical policies such as abolitionism. Another perspective attributes Douglass s shift to Enlightenment principles of natural law and rationality. Davis utilizes selected categories from liberation theology to provide a more accurate exegesis of Douglass's study to encourage a new angle of interpretation of Douglass s philosophical and theological evolution.
