Race in America: Liberalism’s Attack on Minorities and the Church

We live in a world at war. A war that has been waging since Adam defied God and abandoned Eve to Satan’s deceit to get a taste of the forbidden fruit. Unfortunately, the church too often also falls for this deceit and retreats, unable to recognize the battles lines forming around us.

Race in America: Liberalism’s Attack on Minorities and the Church examines this retreat when it comes to the current debate over race and culture. The world seeks to divide that which is whole and make whole that which is divided. Thus, the single race of mankind becomes hopelessly split into various races while the greatest of all divides, that between believers and unbelievers, is forgotten. Racism, now, primarily white racism, is said to be at the heart of racial tension in America today and the primary cause of many of the problems that minorities face.

There can be no doubt about the harm that slavery and white racism has caused to blacks and other minorities in America’s past. However, when the church assumes that white racism is still widespread in America and the cause of current racial tension and minority struggles is to ignore the history of cultural conflict from the beginning of time to deny the harm caused by theological and political liberalism, including the welfare state, to minorities and people of every color.

Race in America: Liberalism’s Attack on Minorities and the Church seeks to turn the debate away from reconciliation with the world and toward reconciliation with God, through the righteousness of Jesus Christ. This is how the kingdom of God is built, and it is how the great cultural divide in the world between belief and unbelief will be overcome.
