Shoutin' in the Fire: An American Epistle is a semi-autobiographical book written by Danté Stewart and published by Convergent Books a subsidiary of Penguin Random House.[1]

Background

Shoutin' in the Fire is Stewart's debut book.[2] The book's intended audience is black people and was not intended to be used as something that white people read to learn how to be antiracist.[3] The book is a semi-autobiographical work in which Stewart wrestles with being Black, Christian, and American.[4] Stewart and his book was influenced by James Baldwin.[5] Stewart also points to Renita J. Weems as a source of inspiration.[6] The book was published after the George Floyd protests.[7] Howard Schaap compares the beginning of the book to the 1895 poem titled "We Wear the Mask" by Paul Lawrence Dunbar.[8] Stewart describes growing up in a Pentecostal tradition.[9]

According to Geez Magazine, Stewart "animates a compelling, humble vulnerability voiced on practically every single page ... every page is an open invitation to double-down on faith."[10]
