How to Fight Racism: Courageous Christianity and the Journey Toward Racial Justice by Jemar Tisby

5.0

How to Fight Racism has just released, and once again, Jemar Tisby does not disappoint! This incredibly helpful book gives background, history, and data on pretty much every facet of racism you can think of, provides a Biblical foundation and explanation for why these issues matter and what the Biblical witness has to say about it, then provides extremely practical, specific, and attainable action steps and examples for churches and individuals to take. Organized under his ARC framework of Awareness, Relationships, and Commitment, I can already see myself taking some specific action items this weekend and suggesting some ideas to our church over the next weeks. I think he also does an excellent job of addressing some of the ideas that seem to trip up white evangelicals, including corporate sin vs individualism, critical race theory, and individual responsibility vs systemic racism. And yes, I skimmed the notes as well, to pay attention to the many references and authors that he draws from. Add this to your list if you love Jesus and want to stay in the fight against racism!
