In this timely work, Harry Singleton maintains that the God of biblical revelation is today the God of Black liberation, and that the God who acted on behalf of the disinherited in biblical history is the same God whose liberating presence is seen in the contemporary Black liberation struggle today, a liberating presence that will ultimately defeat the historical power of white supremacy. The guarantee of God's liberating presence is seen not only in the deliverance of the Hebrew slaves from Egypt, but in God's incarnation, in Jesus, in an oppressed and despised people, thus forging an eternal solidarity that transforms the tragedy of Jesus' death into a resurrected life that overcomes the power of death. Throughout, Singleton employs the metaphor of "path" to denote of the trek of Black people on their liberating journey from the holds of slave ships, to their ongoing struggle to be free. That path has several dimensions, which form the structure of this work: the path of freedom, conversion, obedience, righteousness, justice, liberation, and eternity, all indispensable in the quest for human liberation.

"This integrative approach and practical orientation centered on direct spiritual experience will resonate with all who long to unite with the Infinite." --Philip Goldberg, author of American Veda "Jonas explores themes that are central to my heart, and so important for contemplative Christians who wonder how to access the Triune Mystery in their spiritual practices." --Ruben Habito, author, Healing Breath: Zen for Christians and Buddhists in a Wounded World

"Artfully shows how we can awaken to the Holy Trinity within ourselves and experience extraordinary holiness in the midst of the ordinary." --Rev. Dr. Stephanie Rutt, Founding Minister of the Tree of Life Interfaith Temple
