Using the writings of W.E.B. DuBois, Toni Morrison, James Baldwin, and others, Young seeks insights from the African American experience to break through the oppressiveness of a Christianity corrupted by white notions of power, suggesting a return to the gospel. He cites personal experiences from two study trips to Africa and the writings of Africans to uncover parallels in that continent's spiritual traditions to a Christianity based on the "mysterious love of God." In particular, he sees true interpretations of the Gospel in the work of African Christians like Engelbert Mveng, a Jesuit who was murdered in his native Cameroon for advocating human rights, but whose writings "invested Christian symbols with their original energy."
