In The Color of Faith, Fumitaka Matsuoka provides a theological perspective on racial and ethnic plurality by exploring such issues as alienation across shifting race lines, race and justice; the interworkings of race, class, and culture; and signs of hope amid an enduring culture of opposition. Interdisciplinary in its approach, this is a constructive theological work that reflects on the role Christian faith communities play in a multiracial society and forges a new vision of human relatedness and community building.

This review is from: The Color of Faith: Building Community in a Multiracial Society (Paperback)
As readers, we all have our own expectations. When I saw the title: "The Color of Faith: Building Community in a Multiracial Society," I thought that Matsuoka's book would offer creative, positive approaches for Christians desiring to "build" within their church a more effective multiracial ministry. Instead, I found that 3/4's of Matsuoka's book was devoted to informing reader's about race theory and racism.
5.0 out of 5 stars
scholarly in nature,
This review is from: The Color of Faith: Building Community in a Multiracial Society (Paperback)
The attempt to bring together others into a congregation is always a difficult chore. Where the differences of race and background compound the situation, a way or style or interacting becomes necessary. It would be easier, if as the other reviewer, suggested, there were some formula or techinque available. However, in absense of any easy techniques, we are left with theories and long reflection. This book is of that reflection.
