Synopsis

It's time to move past talk.

It's no longer news to most of us that our society has a deep-seated racism problem. Christians of all ethnic and economic backgrounds are tired of seeing the ugly legacy of racism play out before their eyes and feeling ill-equipped to respond. They watch as friends and family members leave the visible church over this issue, or fall prey to a gospel of White nationalism that is an affront to the cross of Christ. Racism presents itself as an undefeatable foe—a sustained scourge on the reputation of the church.

In Faithful Antiracism, Christina Barland Edmondson and Chad Brennan take confidence from the truth that Christ has overcome the world, including racism, and offer clear analysis and interventions to challenge and resist its pernicious power. Drawing on brand-new research from the landmark Race, Religion, and Justice Project led by Michael Emerson and others, this book represents the most comprehensive study on Christians and race since Emerson's own book Divided by Faith (2001). It invites listeners to put this data to immediate practical use, applying it to their own specific context. Compelled by our grievous social moment and by the timeless truth of Scripture, Faithful Antiracism will equip listeners to move past talk and enter the fight against racism in both practical and hopeful ways.

Goodreads review by AJ on May 21, 2022

Absolutely great! I have read Ibram Kendi’s How to be Antiracists, and I loved it also but ultimately it is not from a Christian perspective. Faithful Antiracism presents many of the same ideas but through a Biblical worldview. It uses data-driven, both quantitative and qualitative, and Biblical ana......more

Goodreads review by Chris on September 12, 2023

Christina Edmondson is a personal friend so of course I'm biased but...this is a helpful look at the historical problems in America which have led to structural inequities in our society. And then the authors provide a helpful look at the biblical motivation and current realities that Christians fac......more
