Being Church Behind Prison Walls: Survival Theology, Prisoners, and Policymakers

By: Karl Robinson

Being Church Behind Prison Walls: Survival Theology, Prisoners, and Policymakers is a survivalist practical ministry manifesto for incarcerated Black men, their families, and religious social policymakers. The book probes the question of what love looks like in a disgusting prison setting and demonstrates how religious and social policymakers can improve rehabilitation initiatives.

Readers will be inspired to think about prison reform in fresh ways using the Centered Prayer model, religious imagination and self-help initiatives rooted in historical memory.
