n nIn a world eager to promote the newest wunderkind, grandmother theology carries us two or more generations back: to the kitchens, hair salons, gardens, and church basements of older Black women who are often invisible in theological discourse but without whom the American Christian church would cease to exist.n nThe church mothers who raised Yolanda Pierce, dean of Howard University School of Divinity, were busily focused on her survival. In a world hostile to Black womens bodies and spirits, they had to be. Born on a former cotton plantation and having fled the terrors of the South, Pierces grandmother raised her in the faith inherited from those who were enslaved. Now in paperback, In My Grandmothers House follows Pierce as she reckons with that tradition, building an everyday womanist theology rooted in liberating scriptures, experiences in the Black church, and truths from Black womens lives. Pierce tells stories that center the experiences of those living on the underside of history, teasing out the tensions of race, spirituality, trauma, freedom, resistance, and memory. The paperback features a new readers guide, written by the author, that is useful for individual reflection and group discussion.n nA grandmothers theology carries wisdom strong enough for future generations. The Divine has been showing up at the kitchen tables of Black women for a long time. Its time to get to know that God.n
