Red Lip Theology

Red Lip Theology is part memoir, part theological dissertation that takes readers on a journey through the author's early life in church as the daughter of an unwed mother.

The essay collection addresses the Black church, theology, and theological education, examining how these institutions have treated Black women.

Benbow writes candidly about her late mother's legacy, mental health, sexual assault, and her discovery of progressive theology and freedom.

The book serves as a love letter to Black women while opening new levels of understanding and ideological transformation for non-Black women and allies.
