As summer begins, we want to help you craft the perfect Summer Reading List. We asked Southeastern Seminary professors what books they would recommend, and we’ll share their recommendations in coming weeks.

Today, Dr. Karen Swallow Prior recommends a book for your summer reading list.

'Reading Black Books' is like a mini-course in African American Literature, theology, and virtue ethics all in one.
