Yes, White people can be saved. In God's redemptive plan, that goes
without saying. But what about the reality of white normativity?
This idea and way of being in the world has been parasitically
joined to Christianity, and this is the ground of many of our
problems today. It is time to redouble the efforts of the church
and its institutions to muster well-informed, gospel-based
initiatives to fight racialized injustice and overcome the heresy
of whiteness. Written by a world-class roster of scholars, Can
"White" People Be Saved? develops language to describe the current
realities of race and racism. It challenges evangelical
Christianity in particular to think more critically and
constructively about race, ethnicity, migration, and mission in
relation to white supremacy. Historical and contemporary
perspectives from Africa and the African diaspora prompt fresh
theological and missiological questions about place and identity.
Native American and Latinx experiences of colonialism, migration,
and hybridity inspire theologies and practices of shalom. And Asian
and Asian American experiences of ethnicity and class generate
transnational resources for responding to the challenge of systemic
injustice. With their call for practical resistance to the Western
whiteness project, the perspectives in this volume can revitalize a
vision of racial justice and peace in the body of Christ.
Missiological Engagements charts interdisciplinary and innovative
trajectories in the history, theology, and practice of Christian
mission, featuring contributions by leading thinkers from both the
Euro-American West and the majority world whose missiological
scholarship bridges church, academy, and society.
Can Christian worship engage our secular culture? Should it? While
engaging thinkers in philosophy, history, religious anthropology,
and liturgical theology, liturgical theologian Joris Geldhof argues
that such engagement is necessary-that our liturgy and faith should
embrace our modern culture. He shows that liturgy itself is an
immensely resourceful reality that appeals to any human being,
regardless of sociocultural and intellectual circumstances. If
properly understood, the liturgy can provide a powerful dynamic
that helps people overcome any binary, including the unfortunate
one between the "left" and "right" within the Catholic Church.
