Review

"Pastor Price has been blowing like a hurricane through the growing subculture in the Christian community known as charismatics with his year-long series on what he believes is at the heart of America's race problem."

-Emerge Magazine

Dec/Jan 1999 -- Emerge Magazine

"Some words come softly, like leaves floating on a gentle breeze. Others hit like a brick through a glass window, shattering old systems and myths." -- Turning Point Magazine

"The Church must take a leadership role in racial reconciliation by dealing first with its own racism. Christian leaders must join Fred Price in identifying the seriousness of the problem and focus on the solutions." -- Stephen Strang, Charisma Magazine April 1998

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Would Be proud, December 4, 1999

This review is from: Race, Religion & Racism, Vol. 1: A Bold Encounter With Division in the Church (Hardcover)

After faithfully listening to Dr. Price for 77 weeks, actually teaching the topic Race, Religion and Racism, his book by the same name is awesome. It's easy to read and very poignant. It was one thing hearing his words, but to see them and read them in print carries a much greter impact. This book is destined to become a bestseller, not only in the Christian market, but the secular as well. It provides an historic explaination as to where racism originated, in the church. Unfortunately, this book is only volume 1. I can't wait to receive volume 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars race religion and racism, April 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Race, Religion & Racism, Vol. 1: A Bold Encounter With Division in the Church (Hardcover)

This was a well composed presentation of an old and sensitive subject that most people especially the 'powers that be' would love to forget. Rev. Price managed to do a full expose` of a very difficult subject beginning with his reasons for wanting to discuss the problems of racism in the Christian Church especially the white Christian church. He puts the responsibility for this problem-and the ultimate solution- where it belongs and that is squarely on the heads of white people especialy the white Christian Church which willing choose to fornicate with the pro-slavery movement. Their lust for money and power encouraged them to create new and unusually cruel ways to deny Africans their God given humanity, hence the branding of American slavery as the "strange and perculiar institution". To this end, they, white Christians , even created their own tainted version of the Bible( the King James translation) to support their continual economic exploitation and dehuminization of Black peoples. The effects of slavery and the subsequent racism that continues to this very second, ravages the Black family and community. Is it any surprise when African Americans have been erroneously told from the beginning that they were a curse of God! What that has done to the collective Black psyche? is also reviewed well. Rev. Price very methodically uses history, science and the Word of God to identify and negate the falicies of centuries of lies against Blacks. Most impressive to me was that he supported his explainations with documented facts and an extensive list of references from prestigious Black and white authorities. His most skilfully built arguement was on the location of the Garden of Eden and the Biblical,scientific and genetic evidence about Adam and Eve .I am not a history buff but this book made me want to study geography, archcheology,and world and religious history. I emphatically recommend Race, Religion and Racism to ANYONE who really wants to discover the truth as I found through this reading that it indeed will make you free.

Race, Religion & Racism illustrates and documents how White Christians have failed to address wrongs done to Blacks in American society. Author Frederick Price advocates the governmental and societal changes needed to enable individuals of color to live and work productively together. Price points out that Adam, Eve and Jesus Christ were all individuals of color; slavery in America was enabled by the corruption of Scripture; that millions of Americans of diverse racial background feel the Christian Church has failed them; that despite differences in color and culture resulting from historical, cultural and geographical isolations, all men and women share the same blood as demonstrated through the fact that any racial roup can share blood through transfusion; that Christians who do not say anything condemning racism are as guilty as those who contribute to the racial dilapidation of society. Race, Religion & Racism is an important, well researched, admirably reasoned, and reader friendly contribution to the on-going national dialogue within the churches on the subject of racism, the brotherhood of man, and the role of the Christian to address the evils present in the secular world -- and within some professedly Christian congregations and movements.
