hiif i say that i loved fountainhead then will you consider my liking atlas shrugged?thnx for your recommendation
Yeah, it was your title I was referring to. Until it Ropes like Okra is a Yoruba saying 'O fa bi Ila'. And yeah, someone like you with the experience and outlook, will like THE BLACKWORLD and TUTUOBA.
The mention of Okra in one of your titles made me salivate over some Yoruba dishes. Interesting reading list, I must say. I believe you will like THE BLACKWORLD: EVOLUTION TO REVOLUTION and the new powerful historical fiction of a reincarnation story, TUTUOBA.
Hello. I had never heard of this site. Can't wait to check out some of the things you've read.
Thank you,I'm looking forward to reading a lot more nonfiction.
Thanks for your comments regarding "Monster: The Autobiography of an L.A. Gang Member." I'll see if I can find it in the library...or on the cheap at a used book store.
Hi drbarbera, just wishing you a Happy Easter Day.
Thanks for your responde to my question regarding "Mandingo." I had a feeling that it would be very stereotypical.... Probably something that would depress me too much.
You have been tagged for the Tag and Tell discussion at Diversity Works. If you're uninterested in this please leave a message for me or in the forum. Hope to learn more about you!
The group, Sexuality from God's Perspective, would like to hear from you. We are seeking a man's point of view.
I look forward to our discussions.
Hi Drbarbera, how are you doing and what book are you reading.
Thank you for adding me as a friend. You have written some very thought provoking books but I must confess that I had not heard of some of your titles but I've ordered a copy of Black and Not Baptist from Amazon just now as I love to discover new material (one of the reasons for joining Shelfari). Well Dr. Barbera its a pleasure to be apart of this site with you and I look forward to more chats-especially after I finish the books. Enjoy the weekend.
WELCOME TO THE HERETICS GROUP.....will look forward to hearing your comments....Pam
Greetings drbarbera,AA and the Bible by Vincent L. Wimbush is primarily about AA Biblical socio-cultural hermeneutics. It is an edited work showing how African Americans over time have used the Bible as a canvas to frame socio-cultural identity in music (jazz, hip-hop, r&b, gospel), literature, film, and spiritual formation (islam, atr, christianity). It's an interesting read.
Thanks for your note. I'm not sure when I will get to the Gnostic Gospels books I have "Wish listed" since I just ordered "Lost Christianities: Christian Scriptures and the Battles over Authentication" on CD (24/30 minute lectures) from The Teaching Company http://www.teach12.com/teach12.asp?ai=16281.Whether these Gospels are aunthentic is irrelevant to me because I understand these kind of writings as allegories anyway.You must have noticed that I also added your book to my Wish List? I'm wondering how you came up with this "90% of African Americans claiming Christianity"? I come from a family of skeptics, atheists and agnostics who also happen to be African Americans. Yet, I claim to be a freelance monotheist who is still considering all the options. LOL!
Hi drbarbera, just wishing you a happy Valentine Day.
Excellent job on writing your reviews. Keep up the good work.
Dr. Barbera, I am deeply impressed by your daunting collection of writings posted on Shelfari. An avid reader, I have not heard of many of the books I saw on your site and will be looking into them immediately. It is inspiring to meet such an intellectually minded individual in this day and age when the educational system and the media are trend toward the "dumbing down" of America. I hope to be included in your circle of friends and look forward to a fruitful exchange of views. -=ra=-
