The main theme or thesis of A Black Theology of Liberation is the African American perspective on Christianity's fundamentals.

The book follows his first book on black liberation theories, Black Theology & Black Power, which was published in 1969. Another theme is the similarities between the socialist foundations of many revolutionary black movements and the socialist themes of Christianity, such as giving to the poor and defending injustices.

Another theme, which is covered in a large portion of the book, is a criticism of "white" theology. The book examines the Puritan and Protestant traditions of the United States and how they have influenced American culture, society, and political institutions. Since it is white American society, culture, and political institutions that oppress black Americans, "white theology" is partially at fault for constructing a racist and oppressive nation.
