Description
Decolonizing Christianity: Becoming Badass Believers challenges the dominant white Christian narrative and its role in perpetuating oppression. Miguel A. De La Torre argues that whiteness has desecrated the message of Jesus, aligning itself with systems of power that subjugate marginalized communities.
De La Torre calls for a radical transformation of Christianity, one that prioritizes solidarity with those who have been historically oppressed and rejects the idolatrous Christianity of whiteness. This book is a scathing indictment of white American Christians' complicity in systemic injustice and a prophetic call to reclaim the revolutionary message of Jesus.
Through a critical examination of Christian theology and practice, De La Torre outlines a new path forward for believers who seek to decolonize their faith and become agents of justice and love. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone seeking to understand the complex relationships between Christianity, power, and social justice.
