More quotes by James H. Cone
Anger and humour are like the left and right arm. They complement each other.
James H. Cone
The coming of Christ means a denial of what we thought we were. It means destroying the white devil in us. Reconciliation to God means that white people are prepared to deny themselves (whiteness), take up the cross (blackness) and follow Christ (black ghetto).
James H. Cone
Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.
James H. Cone
Anger and humor are like the left and right arm. They complement each other. Anger empowers the poor to declare their uncompromising opposition to oppression, and humor prevents them from being consumed by their fury.
James H. Cone

James H. Cone

James H. Cone
If we save the planet and have a society of inequality, we wouldn't have saved much.
