Abstract:
Black theological considerations of human existence involve metaphors corresponding to the concept of family . The formation of a beloved extended family may require a redefinition of certain Christian doctrines, an attempt made by some of the characters depicted in Toni Morrison`s ?Paradise?. ; The separatist, patriarchal leaders of the town of Ruby identify themselves as God-chosen, assume the responsibility of protecting their community from sinister forces, and violently murder women, who presumably embody evil, at a place called the Convent . ; Theologically, the patriarchs` commission of mass murder is an infraction of New Testament Christianity which mandates love of one`s enemies and a call for seeking out the lost . In contrast, the women of the Convent spiritually console other women, regardless of race, class, and culture, who undergo a myriad of tribulations . ; In Black theological terms, also the figure of Reverend Misner embodies the hope for future reconciliation between people of varied religious and cultural backgrounds .
