Jesus, Jobs and Justice, a new book by Temple historian Bettye Collier-Thomas, is a "must-read" and a "tour de force for the study of women and religion," wrote reviewer Marla Frederick of Harvard University. "It navigates within and beyond the walls of institutional religion to delineate the tremendous contributions of African-American women of faith to the larger American project. Collier-Thomas…makes the convincing argument that it was, indeed, the amazing networks of organizations that women developed in the 1920s and '30s that laid the foundation for the success of the civil rights movement."
