"People interested in critical race theory and Christians concerned about faith integration and social justice will find this book to be very helpful."--Library Journal

Critical race theory has become a lightning rod in contemporary American politics and evangelical Christianity. This irenic book offers a critical but constructive and sympathetic introduction written from a perspective rooted in Scripture and Christian theology. The authors take us beyond caricatures and misinformation to consider how critical race theory can be an analytical tool to help us understand persistent inequality and injustice--and to see how Christians and churches working for racial justice can engage it in faithful and constructive ways.

The authors explore aspects of critical race theory that resonate with well-trod Christian doctrine but also that challenge or are corrected by Christian theology. They also address the controversial connection that critics see between critical race theory and Marxism. Their aim is to offer objective analysis and critique that go beyond the debates about social identity and the culture wars and aid those who are engaging the issues in Christian life and ministry. The book includes a helpful glossary of key terms.

If Critical Race Theory is still an object of concern in your Christian circle, I warmly recommend the recent Footnotes Podcast in which Jemar Tisby interviews Dr. Robert Chao Romero and Dr. Jeff Liou, authors of Christianity and Critical Race Theory. https://t.co/HYd4CFlU0c
