May We Meet in the Heavenly World: The Piety of Lemuel Haynes (Profiles in Reformed Spirituality)
I rejoice to know that God has given me friends and heroes like Lemuel Haynes and Thabiti Anyabwile. I love them both. I have learned much from them. In reading this volume, I am sure you will too. Enjoy. --Anthony Carter, author of On Being Black and ReformedThis well chosen selection from Lemuel Haynes s writings represents a significant part of the earliest African-American engagements with the Reformed theological tradition. In that tradition Haynes and his black contemporaries, both American and British, found a language of justice and inspiration that allowed them to criticize slavery and racial prejudice, and to offer a Christian vision of a free society. May We Meet in the Heavenly World can be recommended to students of Christian theology and of American history. --John Saillant, author of Black Puritan, Black Republican: The Life and Thought of Lemuel Haynes, 1753 1833
