About the Author
Kelly Brown Douglas is a distinguished theologian, author, and activist whose work profoundly intersects race, gender, sexuality, and faith in the pursuit of justice. As the Dean of Episcopal Divinity School at Union Theological Seminary and a leading voice in womanist theology, she challenges systemic oppression through her incisive scholarship and compassionate advocacy. Drawing from her experiences as an African American woman in the Episcopal Church, Douglas explores how sacred texts and traditions can foster liberation and equity. Her influential writings, including Sexuality and the Sacred, Second Edition: Sources for Theological Reflection, Stand Your Ground: Black Bodies and the Justice of God, and The Black Christ: 25th Anniversary Edition, have shaped contemporary theological discourse, inspiring readers to confront injustice with spiritual depth and moral courage.
