Reformed Blacks on Black Liberation Theology, Wright, and Obama

Anthony Bradley of Covenant Theological Seminary was recently on Glenn Beck's TV show on the Headline News Network to answer some brief questions on black liberation theology:
Eric Redmond was interviewed the other day on this issue by Al Mohler, and you can also read online a partial transcript. (Speaking of Redmond, but sure to check out his forthcoming book, Where Are All the Brothers?: Straight Answers to Men's Questions about the Church.) And don't miss Rev. Redmond's pre-primer on Black Liberation Theology.
Finally, Thabiti writes (and I agree): "This is probably the best review and interaction with Obama's speech on race that I've read from someone opposing Obama's basic political philosophy and outlook. It's 'fair and balanced' in a way that most reviews are not."

Anthony Bradley taught one of the best classes I ever took while I was at Covenant. He is not brilliant but easy to listen to. He also turned me on to the writings of Thomas Sowell, for which I am forever thankful.
I didn't think Jay Cost's analysis of Obama's speech (and candidacy) was all that great. At the end of the day, Obama is a liberal. He's a Rawlsian when it comes to the place of religion in public life. He thinks that it should be legal for unborn humans to be killed any time from conception to nine months gestation. As a legislator in Illinois, he opposed efforts to protect the lives of infant survivors of abortion. His empathy for the internal "contradictions" of white and black racists doesn't change any of that.
