Abstract
In discussing the African American experience, this paper
will be particularly interested in the religious dimensions of
African American experience. Specifically, I will focus upon
Christianity and what key elements African Americans can draw
from it in relation to their own life. More precisely, how can
African Americans relate to the figure and life of Jesus Christ?
The working hypothesis of this paper is that understanding
the experience of Jesus can lead African Americans to a more
profound understanding of their own circumstances. This should
come as no surprise, since Jesus affiliated, with and impacted
those considered on the margins of society, and it continues to
be the case that African Americans are viewed as being on the
margins of society.
