"Kwon and Thompson''s eloquent reasoning will help Christians broaden their understanding of the contemporary conversation over reparations."--Publishers Weekly
"A thoughtful approach to a vital topic."--Library Journal
Christians are awakening to the legacy of racism in America like never before. While public conversations regarding the realities of racial division and inequalities have surged in recent years, so has the public outcry to work toward the long-awaited healing of these wounds. But American Christianity, with its tendency to view the ministry of reconciliation as its sole response to racial injustice, and its isolation from those who labor most diligently to address these things, is underequipped to offer solutions. Because of this, the church needs a new perspective on its responsibility for the deep racial brokenness at the heart of American culture and on what it can do to repair that brokenness.
This book makes a compelling historical and theological case for the church''s obligation to provide reparations for the oppression of African Americans. Duke Kwon and Gregory Thompson articulate the church''s responsibility for its promotion and preservation of white supremacy throughout history, investigate the Bible''s call to repair our racial brokenness, and offer a vision for the work of reparation at the local level. They lead readers toward a moral imagination that views reparations as a long-overdue and necessary step in our collective journey toward healing and wholeness.
