God Is a Black Woman

by Christena Cleveland

HarperCollins Publishers · 2023 · 272 pages

Christena Cleveland’s pilgrimage to the Black Madonnas of France was more than a journey through ancient shrines; it was a profound quest to reclaim the divine from a whitewashed, patriarchal image. Disillusioned by a God who seemed to favor white men, she sought a liberating presence in the Sacred Black Feminine. This deeply personal narrative blends theology, social psychology, and a walking tour of historical sites to critique oppressive religious structures and offer a hopeful vision of God that affirms the sacredness of Black women.
