His research interests include Christological ethics\, theological anthropology\, Christian social ethics\, the Harlem Renaissance\, race\, politics and black church life. He is the author of Bonhoeffer's Black Jesus: Harlem Renaissance Theology and an Ethic of Resistance\, which was selected as a Choice Outstanding Title in theology\, in 2014. The book examines the impact of exposure to theology in the Harlem Renaissance on the German pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer\, who was killed by the Nazis in 1945 for his resistance to Hitler¡¯s government. Dr. Williams' current work continues to focus on black aesthetics as an intervention to re-calibrate common interpretations of human beings and of Christians that lead to harmful interpretations of God\, and of ethical life. Dr. Williams is a board member of the English Language section of the International Dietrich Bonhoeffer Society\, of the Society for the Study of Black Religion\, and a former board member of the Society for Christian Ethics.\n
