Critical Race Theory (CRT) has become a lightning rod in American politics and evangelical Christianity. This book offers a critical but constructive and sympathetic introduction to CRT written from a perspective rooted in Scripture and Christian theology. Robert Chao Romero and Jeff Liou take us beyond the caricatures and misinformation to consider how CRT can be an analytical tool to help us understand persistent inequality and injustice–and to see that Christians and churches working for racial justice engage CRT in faithful and constructive ways.
The authors explore aspects of CRT that resonate with well-trod Christian doctrine but also aspects that challenge or are corrected by Christian theology. They also address the controversial connection that critics see between CRT and Marxism. Their aim is to offer objective analysis and critique that go beyond the debates about social identity and the culture wars and aid those who are engaging the issues in Christian life and ministry. The book includes reflection/discussion questions, exercises, a glossary of key CRT terms, and suggested readings, making it helpful for students or small groups.
