"The good news is that the Bible has a lot to say about how to heal our persistent racial divides. In this book, popular Bible teacher Derwin Gray walks us through Scripture, showing us the heart of God--how God from the beginning envisioned a reconciled multiethnic family in loving community, reflecting his beauty and healing presence in the world. This message is central to the gospel itself. After reading this book, you won't read the Bible the same way again--and you'll want to walk through this eye-opening scriptural journey with your friends or small group. As founding pastor of Transformation Church, a multiethnic church located in the Charlotte metro area, Derwin knows firsthand the hurdles and challenges to the reconciliation that Scripture commands. That is why he carefully outlines in this book how to establish color-blessed discipleship in your own church" --

In the 1990s, many evangelical Christian organizations and church leaders began to acknowledge their long history of racism and launched efforts at becoming more inclusive of people of color. While much of this racial reconciliation movement has not directly confronted systemic racism's structural causes, there exists a smaller countermovement within evangelicalism, primarily led by women of color who are actively engaged in antiracism and social justice struggles. In Unreconciled Andrea Smith examines these movements through a critical ethnic studies lens, evaluating the varying degrees to which evangelical communities that were founded on white supremacy have addressed racism. Drawing on evangelical publications, sermons, and organization statements, as well as ethnographic fieldwork and participation in evangelical events, Smith shows how evangelicalism is largely unable to effectively challenge white supremacy due to its reliance upon discourses of whiteness. At the same time, the work of progressive evangelical women of color not only demonstrates that evangelical Christianity can be an unexpected place in which to find theoretical critique and social justice organizing but also shows how critical ethnic studies' interventions can be applied broadly across political and religious divides outside the academy.

This is not just another book about racial reconciliation. Part history, part societal analysis, part vision, and part strategy, this book illuminates how society is using American Christianity's racially-tarnished history to diminish its influence, and what Christians need to do to take back control. From the historical causes of racial divisions within our churches to the subtle but persistent wars that society is waging against the faith, the author weaves an intricate tapestry that illustrates how society has evolved to negatively stereotype Christianity and many of its core teachings as racist. Christian blacks and Christian whites now fight as if on a smoke-engulfed battlefield, unknowingly waging war on one another even as they try to win the same spiritual and social battles around them. Seen through the lens of the slow drip of societal change, the author exposes Christians as not only siloed within individual, racially, and socially isolated congregations, but unwittingly aiding in the marginalization of their faith within American culture. Not only are Christians failing to have the impact they could and should, they are inadvertently supporting society's efforts to simultaneously divide the races, split the nation, and conquer any hope of Christianity's influence. Offering solid solutions for the future of American Christianity and its influence on a world in need, the author delves deeply and precisely into the dramatic actions that both Christian whites and Christian blacks must take. By becoming "upright" as the Bible commands, and changing the way they think, speak, act, and interact, Christian whites and Christian blacks can clear the smoke from the battlefield, unite in action across denominations and races, and bring glory to God and a New Awakening to the faith.

Examines the influence of racism on Christian theology since the rise of scientific racism and the creation of the Aryan myth. Analyzes five images of Christ affected by racism, two of which focus on antisemitism. Ch. 2 (p. 27-53), "The Germanic Christ", traces the influence of romantic nationalism, which saw Germany as a uniquely spiritual nation and drew on German Protestant pietism in creating an antisemitic Christian mythology of the mission of the German race. Surveys Christian elements in the ideas of atheistic figures such as Lagarde and Chamberlain. Lutheran political theologians, such as St̲cker, paved the way for the racialization of German Protestantism in the Third Reich. Ch. 3 (p. 55-73), "The Latin Christ", describes similar developments in French Catholicism, where racism and antisemitism were linked to the political struggle of the Church against the anticlerical republic, identified with a Jewish-Masonic conspiracy. Thus, Drumont presented the Jew as both the religious and the racial enemy of France.

The purpose of this book is twofold: (1) unravels the truth regarding who the biblical followers of God and Jesus resembled in respects to their heritage then and direct descendants today, (2) display supportive images and artifacts that demonstrate that there has been a hegemonic takeover of Christianity from people they have conquered and scorned. Biblical citations are used with images and artifacts in Europe and other parts of the white known world At this point in the history of the world, xenophobia and racial scorn against blacks was non-existent. The achievements and skills of black or burnt skinned people were admired. Collectively, these Ethiopians or Egyptians's reputation was legendary. In the Roman Empire, the Israelites of Northeast Africa (called the Middle East today) were physically considered indistinguishable from Ethiopians and Egyptians. The wide discrepancy between how early Christians, particularly in Europe, portrayed biblical figures and citations in the Bible and ethnocentric portrayal today is investigated. In the United States of America (USA) the race of biblical figures and authors has been purged and replaced by Nordic or Northern European people who hold hegemony over the Western World and its former colonies. Besides the modern xenophobia and racial scorn held by the hegemonic Westerners purging the messengers of the Gospel, they have used the message to subjugate the descendants of the original Israelites who were enslaved in America, segregated, dehumanized devaluated, demonized, profiled, miseducated, excessively incarcerated, and underdeveloped. This book explains the rationale for this racism and why revealing the truth can save the scorned and change Western attitudes to an era whereby “content of ones character” and “service to others” purges hegemonic-led racism and privilege at the expense of humanity. If race and color was not important in regards to Christianity, according to those holding hegemonies and their surrogates, why have them purged Black Israelites, Egyptians and other people of the Bible from its annuals and displace them with their own descendants who were primarily living on the barbaric fringes of the Roman Empire in Europe. Ancient Israel and what we call the Middle East today was considered the Northeastern part of the African continent quite distant from the ancestral homelands of those holding hegemonies in the West. This book explains how the Indo-Europeans, including Arabs, conquered Northeast Africa claiming the land, civilization and religion as their own. The transformation was com-pleted within the last 300 or 400 years. Christianity a religion designed to save all humanity became a religion that subjugates people of color and elevates those holding power to “divine-like” status on the basis of their socioeconomic status.

Are "white" people more intelligent than "black" people? Are Jews devious and grabby? Intolerance and violence through racism includes slavery, national solcialism in Germany, apartheid in South Africa, or the genocides in Rwanda and Bosnia. But racism is not only wrong theologically, it is not only against the dignity of humans, that guarantees their human rights, but newer genetic research also proves that the whole classification into races is without foundation. Biologically speaking, all humans belong to one race. E.g., when you need a blood transfusion, you should not look for a blood donor from your 'race,' but someone with the same blood group transcending all 'races.'

The purpose of this book is to reveal the real purpose of Easter, its significance to End-Time and the inclusive message of Jesus Christ, Messiah and Savior. In doing so, the real identity of Christ, his disciples, authors of the Bible and the founders of his universal church is revealed in terms of their roots, values and descendants. The true Christians revealed are among the “scorned” and least advantaged in society. Described is how the unjust holding the hegemony of money and power made Christianity in their image. Examined is their claim that they by virtue of money and power are the “blessed” and “just.” Contrary to the commandments of the Creator and the life and message of the Son of God, they continue to exploit and victimize most of humanity and the environment. The extent of the distortion of the truth is made clear. Pope Francis messages of redemption, social and economic justice, fraternity, mercy, love and peace are presented collectively as the path toward salvation.Jesus' first and final return is described according to biblical scriptures with citations. The holiday, Easter, to celebrate his first return from death for our sins is detailed. The celebration's link to pagan traditions is revealed. The importance of this ritual is acknowledged. The second coming of Jesus is detailed according to biblical citation, as well. The final resurrection follows the seven prophecies identified, cited and described. They point toward the fulfillment in our times.The wide discrepancy between how early Christians, particularly in Europe, portrayed biblical figures and citations in the Bible and ethnocentric portrayal today is investigated. In the United States of America (USA) the race of biblical figures and authors has been purged and replaced by Nordic or Northern European people who hold hegemony over the Western World and its former colonies.
