In Her Grandmother’s House: Black Women in the Black Church (encore) February 02, 2023
One of the featured scholars in The Black Church is Dr. Yolanda Pierce, dean of Howard University’s divinity school and a womanist theologian. Dr. Pierce grew up in the Black church and describes how women keep that institution strong and growing, despite being often unwelcome in the pulpit. If the Black church is to remain relevant, it must confront its history of sexism and integrate the wisdom and perspective of women into the theology.

Rev. Dr. Yolanda Pierce, Ph.D., Professor at, and Dean of the Howard University School of Divinity in Washington, DC. Author, most recently of In My Grandmother's House: Black Women, Faith, and the Stories We Inherit from 1517 Media.
