After signal victories of the civil rights movement in the sixties, recent events have shown that the divide between black and white Americans remains alarmingly wide. And as African- and Euro-Americans perhaps increasingly find themselves at odds politically and culturally, Sunday-morning worship dismayingly remains the most segregated hour of the week.Yet Christians of both races affirm that the gospel calls them together, that they at least should be one people, of one Lord, one faith, one baptism. In that spirit, the incisive and challenging essays in this book consider what rigorous theological work can contribute to the noble and ongoing quest for racial reconciliation.Some of the church's most exciting black and white thinkers are gathered here by editor Dennis Okholm to address issues of theological method, hermeneutics, soteriology, ecclesiology and social ethics--always with an eye to closing the gaping wound of racism and serving God's kingdom across color lines.

This review is from: The Gospel in Black & White: Theological Resources for Racial Reconciliation (Paperback)
I highly recommend this book. For those pastors that are not historians, it is a quick read into how evangelicalism has subtlety helped ingrain racism into society and the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. This book will challenge many, offend some, but ultimately open new ways of thinking to build the church and fullfill the Great Commission through reconciling "all."
