dc.description.abstractOppressive Christologies have historically pervaded the Church, and even progressive ones, such as feminist and Black Christologies, have still furthered the exclusion and oppression of Black women. This research critically analyzes these oppressive perspectives and their history of the oppression of Black women. It also examines the more constructive Womanist Christology and the concept of intersectionality through contemporary writings from these perspectives. The research reveals that most Christological perspectives exclude the experiences of Black women, while Womanist Christology and intersectionality center Black women’s experiences. Overall, the latter perspectives provide a more holistic perspective on the person of Jesus by asserting that Jesus himself identifies with the most oppressed (i.e., Black women), which offers hope for the future of Jesus’ ideal justice and liberation. The research suggests that those who are privileged can adopt these perspectives by, like Jesus, identifying with the oppressed and working toward their liberation.en_US
