I thought that some of you, particularly my Christian friends, would find this AMAZINGLY interesting. Fresh Air's (an NPR program) Terry Gross interviewed the man who invented Black Liberation Theology and found out how he began to understand God as a vengeful defender of the weak. It's like 20 minutes...just click here and then click "Listen Now" on the Fresh Air page.
Then, she interviewed a Professor of Religion who goes to Obama's church and whom talks about the historical perspective of this theology and about Rev. Wright specifically. Very interesting.
