Diverse reviewed Jesus, Jobs and Justice: African American Women and Religion, a new book by Temple historian Bettye Collier-Thomas. The book explores "the centrality of religion to the Black experience in this country and the role of spirituality as the catalyst for social action in the pursuit for racial justice," wrote reviewer Angela Dodson. "More importantly, Collier-Thomas documents how African-American women, Protestant and Catholic, established their own strongholds inside and outside the church to address the social and corporal needs of Blacks at home and abroad as they pressed for justice for their race and sex."
