The Project on Lived Theology was happy to host Danté Stewart for a special Nov. 17 event, “Writing Blackness: A Conversation with Danté Stewart on Theology and Memoir.” As part of his talk, Stewart cited various Black authors and texts (as well as other voices) that inspired him on his journey. We’ve compiled that list here if you’d like to read along.
