Description
Can "White" People Be Saved? Triangulating Race, Theology, and Mission explores the complex relationship between Christianity and white normativity, highlighting its impact on racialized injustice. A collection of essays by leading scholars, this book challenges evangelical Christianity to think critically about race, ethnicity, migration, and mission in relation to white supremacy.
Through a range of historical and contemporary perspectives from Africa, the African diaspora, Native American, Latinx, Asian, and Asian American experiences, the authors develop language to describe the current realities of race and racism. They offer practical resistance to the Western whiteness project, revitalizing a vision of racial justice and peace in the body of Christ.
This book is part of Missiological Engagements, an interdisciplinary and innovative collection of essays on Christian mission, featuring contributions from leading thinkers from both the Euro-American West and the majority world. By bridging church, academy, and society, it provides valuable resources for responding to systemic injustice.
