A personal and theological examination of racism within Christianity, challenging its historical justifications and calling for a more faithful expression of Christian teaching in schools, churches, and society.
This book is a collection of reflections on racism within Christianity and its impact on Christian education. Drawing from her own experiences in evangelical Christian schools from preschool through twelfth grade, the author examines ways in which racial prejudice and exclusion can stand in direct contradiction to the teachings and practices of the early Church. Alongside these personal narratives, she explores and critiques theological ideas that were developed to justify slavery, segregation, and racial hierarchy, demonstrating how such beliefs diverge from the message of Scripture. Ultimately, the book invites readers to reconsider the true nature of Christianity and to reflect on how it should be embodied in Christian schools, churches, and society as a whole.
