In this book Kurt Buhring explores concepts of spirit(s) within various Black religions as a means to make a constructive theological contribution to contemporary Black theology in regard to ideas of the Holy Spirit, or pneumatology. He argues that there are rich resources within African and African-based religions to develop a more robust notion of the Holy Spirit for contemporary Black liberation theology. In so doing, Buhring offers a pneumatology that understands divine power and presence within humanity and through human action. The theology offered maintains the fundamental claim that God acts as liberator of the oppressed, while also calling for greater human responsibility and capability for bringing about liberation.

Talking about Writing is for high school teachersand students who 1. need a common vocabulary with which to discuss written language; 2. desire a working knowledge of the chief elements of sentence structure, grammar, usage and punctuation as they apply to the writing process; 3. demand an integrated approach, and a sequenced format adaptable to individual lessons; and 4. appreciate the help of an Answer key. A mechanic immersed in the intricacies of engine repair doesnot ask for a "thingummy" or a "whatsit."He or she names the tool and holds out a hand to receive it.In the same way, teachers and students poring over the productsof the writing process need a basic common vocabulary withwhich to discuss the work. They need to make mutually understandablestatements which will clarify and improve the material under review.For example, "This sentence contains a misplaced modifier"is more helpful and precise than 'Don't you think puttingthis bit in a different place will make the sentence sound better?'Talking about Writing supplies this basic vocabulary.The text has a simple format.
