"Some discuss Baldwin’s queerness some his religious background or his criticisms of religiosity; still others separate his queerness from the ‘serious work’ of calling out white supremacy. Jimmy’s Faith refuses these separations demonstrating that we do not know James Baldwin if we do not consider seriously – and simultaneously – his queerness his Blackness and his agnosticism."
—Ashon Crawley author The Lonely Letters and Blackpentecostal Breath: The Aesthetics of Possibility
"In Jimmy’s Faith Christopher Hunt ushers us nearer the molten challenging and transfiguring core of Baldwin's life and art than we've been before. Touching with nuance and precision upon several of Baldwin's most crucial works across genres these brilliantly intersectional readings do more than reveal they redeem."
—Ed Pavlić author of Who Can Afford to Improvise? James Baldwin and Black Music the Lyric and the Listeners?
Christopher W. Hunt is Assistant Professor of Religion at Colorado College.
