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

5.0

Another winner from the incomparable Jemar Tisby!! Even though it's short and a quick read, Tisby offers a cornucopia of ideas for steps people, both Black and white, can take to truly pursue and work for racial justice. The "why" is often pretty brief- but that's not the aim here. This book isn't for someone new to the concept of racial justice. If that's you, save this for later- and maybe start with Tisby's foundational work, The Color of Compromise, a MUST for all Christians. What I appreciated the most in this work, as a Christian myself, is how often Tisby correlates his words here with the words of Scripture. This is one of the problems we in the Christian community face so often pursuing work in justice- that it's easy for other Christians to paint the work of justice as a 'secular' issue and not Biblically based. However the demand for justice, and the need to actively work to create equity and repair injustice is the work that God commands us to do through the Bible. Thank you for always keeping that front and center here, Jemar!!!
