This book will examine Howard Thurman's life, ministry and writings in light of the concern of how radically inclusive community might be conceived, articulated and appropriated for the church and society today and in the future.

I’ve Seen the Promised Land, will examine Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life, ministry and writings in light of an overarching concern with how his vision of the Beloved Community might be conceived, articulated and appropriated for the church and society today and into the future. It is proposed that King’s ecclesiology and moral philosophy - and specifically the quest for the Beloved Community - were foundational to his overall theological project, and ultimately served as the framework for his conception of humanity, the ministry and mission of the Christian church, and hope for the ...

Perennial questions about leadership are “Is leadership caught or is it taught?” Are persons born to be leaders or are leaders more a product of their environment and the influences that develop them? This volume is rooted in the premise of my observations and findings over 40 years as a practitioner, student, researcher, and leadership teacher that one characteristic/factor distinguishes leaders of thriving, vital, and growing teams and organizations from those that are less effective, and not thriving and growing. This characteristic/factor is what I will discuss throughout this ...

Hope for the City unites two academic and ministry interests and practices – transformational leadership and urban ministry. One of the clarion calls is for leadership development and training for laity and clergy serving in urban settings. Hope for the City provides a framework that addresses this call. My prayer is that this volume will serve as a resource for urban leaders who are seeking to develop transformational leaders and vital churches and organizations.

In 1903, the great scholar, W.E.B Dubois published the work, The Souls of Black Folk, in which he offered the seminal declaration that “the problem of the 20th century is the problem of the color line." It is the observation, some 117 years later, among many – including myself - Dr. Dubois’s observation holds into another century, and that indeed, the problem of the 21st century remains the problem of the color line. The fact is that many people continue to languish in the disparate shackles and bondage of poverty, racism, sexism, lack of adequate and accessible healthcare, over-...

In these days of perilous, precarious hope, the churches and other faith communities must somehow continue to speak and live hope, speak truth to power, seek peace with justice, and sing hope. Somehow, we must conjure the audacity, as the ancient prophet Joel intimated, “to see visions and dream dreams”, and have the temerity to hope against all that seems to persistently rise against hope. This book is the third volume of sermons on the Psalms written and published since 2016, with the first two volumes being: Keep Looking Up (2016) and Songs for the Seasons (2020). It is hoped that ...

This is a collection of ideas and presentations of hope in God and hope for humanity. And it is out of this hope that we believe that dreams, visions and possibilities for a better world are born. Hope for a brighter future, a hope that love would abound among all of God’s people – a bright hope for tomorrow. Dr. Hunt believes that hope is the window that God has given us to see into God’s preferred future for our lives. In the midst of the apparent hopelessness, nothingness, meaninglessness and lovelessness that seem to pervade our collective reality today, hope lends credence to the...

Sermons on the Psalms. That is why I love preaching and teaching the Psalms. I resonate with the Israelites, who like many of us today needed songs to help them get through the night and day. This volume, Songs for the Seasons, is an expression of songs that continue to be sung in sermonic form in contexts where I serve and lead. They are essentially songs for the various seasons of life – songs of contemplation, lament and celebration.
