Summary: | This Side of Heaven is an interdisciplinary edited volume on race and ethnic relations by Christians for Christians. Placing contemporary historical, sociological, and anthropological scholarship on race within a Christian context, the book answers various thorny questions like: How have Christian churches related to slavery and segregation? How have biblical texts been used to interpret race relations? How can Christians bridge ethnic divisions and pursue racial reconciliation? Nineteen essays divided into four sections help Christians to understand the social historical linkages between Christianity and race and challenge Christians to bring about racial healing, social justice, and unity. |
