Description
A clarion call to reclaim the essence of faith and the soul of a nation.
In Critical Race Theology Juan Floyd-Thomas examines the entangled roots of white supremacy, white Christian nationalism, and the raging culture wars in America. In this provocative and courageous work Floy-Thomas charts a path for a revitalized social gospel for the 21st century.Drawing insights from critical race theory, Black liberation theology, and prophetic Christianity, Floyd-Thomas proposes "critical race theology" as a framework to confront racism, exclusion, and oppression within American Christianity and society. Challenging the self-righteous distortions of conservatives, he calls on clergy and believers to truly embody the liberating spirit of Jesus's radical ethic of love.
For students, scholars and readers of contemporary theology, this timely volume provides a hopeful vision of a future where human dignity, social equality, and spiritual renewal can flourish in a nation reborn.
