Bishop Edwards: A Gospel for African American Workers During the Age of Obama is a moving and exhilarating story of a bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in the city of Baltimore. This fictional minister of the gospel has been imprisoned for his social conservative views of gender relations and marriage, as well as for his activism on behalf of aggrieved African American workers. From federal prison, this faithful minister addresses his constituents, which is a predominant African American trade union, through twenty-one formal letters (i.e., epistles). Borrowing heavily from the Christian teachings of the Apostle Paul and Martin Luther King, Jr., the topics of these epistles range from marriage equality, gender conflict, racial conflict, class conflict, trafficking in illegal immigrants, the sex trade, the deterioration of the African American family, political economy, law, and religion--all in an effort to defend his Christian faith and to vindicate the universal struggle for peace and social justice.

The Parables of Christ

By: Roderick O. Ford

The Parables of Christ is a simple and yet thought-provoking analysis of the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. It carefully analyzes forty-eight of Jesuss most important parables as the foundation of the New Testament gospel, and it places them within the context of the Old Testament law. The Parables of Christ is especially useful for those persons who are unfamiliar with Jesuss fundamental teachings. But this book is also an innovative Bible-study companion that is very practical and useful for knowledgeable and experienced Christians, lawyers, pastors, and theologians.

Labor Matters

By: Roderick O. J. D. Ford

No solution to the crisis of American race relations is viable without taking into account labor matters. Labor Matters--African American Labor Crisis, 1861-2010 presents a sobering historical analysis of race and employment relations in the United States through thirteen unique essays-- including scholarly articles, speeches, a biographical essay, and law review notes. In this book, we learn that American labor and employment laws were, from 1861 to about 1940, intentionally designed to preserve the effects of American slavery on African American workers; that these laws were revamped after World War II in response to the Civil Rights Movements of the 1940s, 50s and 60s; but since the 1970s, these laws have been misapplied to the detriment of the African American community. The reasons covered are multifaceted; the problems dealt with are spiritual and cultural; and the underlying solutions appear to be fundamentally economic. Attorney Roderick O. Ford has completed a masterful work.
