Opis

In White Jesus: The Architecture of Racism in Religion and Education, we conceive White Jesus as a socially constructed apparatus-a mythology that animates the architecture of salvation-that operates stealthily as a veneer for patriarchal White supremacist, capitalist, and imperialist sociopolitical, cultural, and economic agendas.

Recenzje

"I loved this book! In this interdisciplinary resource, the authors powerfully show that White Jesus isn't an innocuous inaccuracy. Rather, it is a powerful cornerstone of White supremacy and must be seen for the poison that it is. Drawing connections between historical events, theological affirmations and current, real-world examples of White supremacy in Christianity, this book illuminates the many ways in which White Jesus is the enemy, not the savior, of the world. Every Christian influencer-especially clergy, lay leaders, and scholars-should read this book. I know it'll be required reading in the seminary courses I teach for years to come!" -Christena Cleveland, author of Disunity in Christ:Uncovering the Hidden Forces That Keep Us Apart
