About the Author
Katie Geneva Cannon is a pioneering theologian, ethicist, and educator whose groundbreaking work has reshaped the landscape of Black and womanist theology. As the first African American woman ordained in the United Presbyterian Church (USA), she has dedicated her career to amplifying marginalized voices in religious scholarship and preaching. Cannon's scholarship bridges the gap between historical Black sacred rhetoric and contemporary ethical discourse, challenging systemic injustices through a lens of liberation and empowerment. Her influential texts, including Teaching Preaching: Isaac Rufus Clark and Black Sacred Rhetoric and Womanist Theological Ethics: A Reader (Library of Theological Ethics), serve as essential resources for students, clergy, and scholars exploring the intersections of race, gender, and faith. Through her teaching at Union Presbyterian Seminary and beyond, Cannon continues to inspire a new generation of thinkers committed to justice and spiritual depth.
