Prompt
“Although neither Their Eyes Were Watching God or Go Tell It On the Mountain claim to be theology books,
they are useful resources in constructing a theological perspective on the power of love and the sin of
pride. As a consequence, we should reconsider toxic masculinity and submissive femininity
Instructions
• You must address both love and pride in fairly equal proportions.
• You must include both Hurston and Baldwin, but one author can be up to 2/3rds of your discussion.

suggestions.
• Your reconsideration may address an issue in the past, the present, or the future.
• Your reconsideration is answering the question “so what?” It is your opinion, your point of view. Look at
the (Althought statement)
• In other words, what do you think could be an outcome of your research?
• For example, what difference is this going to make to the way we understand African-American religious
thought, or Christianity in the 21st century, or the way we look at personal relationships in general, or the
possibility for human growth and flourishing?
