Three-fifths Theology: Challenging Racism in American Christianity"It is written by both an African American and a European American who are in the mainstream of the conversation about racism in American Christianity. The authors, in church and classroom, regularly face the challenges confronted in this book. Certain Afrocentric writers have written books to instruct readers while others are more motivational or devotional in their focus. This book will both educate readers as it evaluates various solutions and then seeks to provide practical applications for specific action. It adds much needed theological perspective into the conversation by offering concrete solutions and raising difficult controversies (reparations, affirmative actions, etc.) from a Christian perspective."--Jacket. |
