"I welcome Defending Black Faith as a resource for the ongoing dialogue with respect to the meaning of Christianity for blacks. This book ought to be enthusiastically embraced by critical thinkers of all ages within the body of Christ, and especially by students in colleges and seminaries."

"For years African-American Christians have been attacked for our commitment to Christ. In the streets, schools, barber shops, beauty salons, college campuses, jails and prisons, African-American Christianity has taken a beating. Defending Black Faith provides all Christians with Christ-centered, biblically based, theologically sound answers to the most blistering attacks upon the faith. It equips and empowers the reader to boldly reclaim lost people and lost areas of community for Christ. The book is a must read!"

"This thorough, exhaustive and relevant work should prove to be an invaluable resource to those who endeavor to 'contend for the faith,' that saints would be able to intelligently present the gospel of Jesus Christ in such a way that souls would be won for the Kingdom of God."

"Craig Keener and Glenn Usry have done it again! Defending Black Faith, the sequel to Black Man's Religion, is a must read for every Christian on the North American continent. The book will be of immense value for college students and for Christians who are incarcerated. These two populations are under the heaviest attack from the Nation of Islam, and the work that Keener and Usry have done will give them more than adequate tools for not only answering, but for silencing all of the preposterous claims of those who attack the Christian faith."
