Talk:James H. Cone

message: It seems this page keeps getting modified to take Cone from the realm of theology and put him into the realm of politics (changing Liberation Theology to Liberal socialism).  This seems to me to be a POV insertion.  If I'm wrong, can we work this out in the discussion page?  Thx. Lbdance99 (talk) 15:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

message: There needs to be a reliable secondary source to show that there actually is a legitimate controversy over each of these quotes by Cone.  - Maximusveritas (talk) 13:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Quotes sections in general are frowned upon at Wikipedia.  There is no specific policy against it, but it does appear to be the general consensus (Wikipedia:Quotations).  This article is an example of one that wasn't featured until its quotes section was removed and sent to wikiquotes, which is the more appropriate place for such sections.  I went ahead and moved this section to Wikiquotes as well. If any of those quotes generate a verifiable controversy, they can be added to the controversy section here.  - Maximusveritas (talk) 19:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I added the two quotes that have been removed. Should I have cited the secondary sources in adding the quotes, reporting the controversy rather than trying to reconstruct it?  Actually, if you Google the quotes you get a number of places -- newspaper op-eds, blogs -- where the quotes have generated controversy. — J M Rice (talk) 06:08, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Maximusveritas, the link you referenced does not, in any way, justify your claim that a quote must meet a "controversial" in order to be included. The quote added by J M Rice should be restored. Jim2345 (talk) 23:18, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Quotes/Controversy section

message: I removed this ", and sympathetic with the Black Power movement" from the intro, because I am not sure it is accurate - is there a source on this? My understanding was Cone was writing in response to the Black power critique of Christianity.Lbdance99 (talk) 05:38, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Introduction

message: James Cone believed that white people "he believed that if God is not for us and against white people then he is a murderer." Obviously I thinks that all white people are murderers which is inherently racist.

message: I believe that this should be removed, as Tillich definitely has a "universal" understanding of theology.  His use of the logos as basis for his Ground of Being supports my assertion.  Referencing his as kerygmatic, like James Cone, is misrepresenting his writing.140.141.20.115 (talk) 04:54, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

message: The Internet is passing around comments on Cone's death this morning (4-28-2018) - Thus far, no news sources that I have been able to find have said anything about this. For the time being, the closest thing to a reliable source I can find is Union Seminary's Twitter feed. I am going to post that as a citation for his death, at least for the time being. Let's discuss further as needed. KConWiki (talk) 16:04, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Sources on death of Cone?

message: The date of birth provided in the New York Times obituary https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/29/obituaries/james-cone-dead.html
Aug. 5, 1938
is different from that in this article (Aug. 5, 1936). Both the NY Times and the Union Theological Seminary https://utsnyc.edu/james-cone/ describe him as age 79 at the time of death, which would make the 1938 year of birth the correct one. Do we have a reliable way to confirm something as straightforward as the birthdate of someone born in the United States?
