Passionately Human, No Less Divine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Passionately Human, No Less Divine: Religion and Culture in Black Chicago, 1915–1952 is a non-fiction book by Wallace D. Best, published by Princeton University Press in 2007.

It discusses African-American Protestantism,[1] in Bronzeville, Chicago during the stated period in its title, which coincides with the Great Migration.[2]

Charles H. Long of University of California Santa Barbara wrote that the book "gives a religious interpretation of the Great Northern Migration or Southern Exodus itself."[3]

Reception

Anthea D. Butler, then of University of Rochester, wrote that the work "will prove to be, I hope, a pivotal text" in its field.[4]

Barbara L. Green of Wright State University stated that it was an "important contribution" and "well-researched".[5] She also stated that the information on how churches in shop space were created held interest for her.[6]

Long stated that the work "is a very important study".[7]
