Reviews
Sims offers ethical insights that shed light on lynching culture and how we continue to experience its effects today., Simply for the way it collects and preserves the stories of dozens of African American survivors of the lynching era, Angela D. Sims' Lynched should be considered required reading for every US citizen. But in explicating the theological, sacramental, ethical, and ecclesiological significance of these memories, Sims makes a vital contribution to the field of theology as well., Using oral histories, Sims provides the Christian community with a canon of testimonies that illustrate the scriptural imperative to walk by faith and not by sight. The testimonies of the African American elders are replete with biblical allusions and comparisons, such as the failure to love one's neighbor, the suffering servant, the road to Calvary, and the trek to the lynching tree.

Synopsis
Lynched chronicles the history andaftermath of lynching in America. By rooting her work in oral histories, Angela D. Sims gives voice tothe memories of African American elders who remember lynching not only as individual acts but as a culture of violence, domination, and fear. Lynched preserves memory even while it provides an analysis of the meaning of those memories.Simsexamines the relationship between lynching and the interconnected realities of race, gender, class,and other social fragmentations that ultimately shape a person's'and a community's'religiousself-understanding. Through this understanding,she explores how the narrators reconcile their personal and communalmemory of lynching with their livedChristian experience. Moreover, Simsunearths the community'struth that this is sometimes a story of words and at other times a story of silence. Revealing the bond between memory and moral formation, Simsdiscovers the courage and hope inherent in the power of recall.By tending to the words of these witnesses, Lynched exposes not only a culture of fear and violence but the practice of story and memory, as well as thenarrative ofhope within a renewed possibility for justice., Lynched chronicles the history and aftermath of lynching in America.
