In this chapter, the author uses the narrative mode of autobiography to reflect on theology and ethics by looking back over his long career as a Pentecostal scholar, churchman, and social activist. In particular, the author describes the dilemmas and challenges that he has experienced as an Afro-centric Pentecostal theologian-ethicist, as well as the conflict with colleagues who embrace other perspectives. After discussing the civil rights background of Afro-Pentecostal radicalism, he provides insight into the racial dynamics within the Pentecostal academy that have mirrored concerns found in other segments of Afro-Pentecostalism. He also considers how some Afro-Pentecostal scholars were able to help frame a response to the racism they encountered within the movement. Finally, he suggests the need to confront questions regarding the racial injustice still visible within the Pentecostal church and academy.
