520 |a The work of James Baldwin has suffered from much critical misunderstanding due largely to critics' dualistlic approach, which sets political concerns against spiritual ones, emphasizes only the former in Baldwin's work, and misses his complex examination of individual experience and responsibility.

This article discusses the twin spaces of Baldwin's relationship with Christianity, including his neglected Christian faith and his implicit theology.
