A Credible Witness: Reflections on Power, Evangelism and Race by Brenda Salter McNeil
“Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman, introduced here as Brenda’s friend Sam, gives you the full picture of gospel reconciliation–reconciliation to God and to each other. In her powerful, prophetic way, Brenda expounds their interaction recorded in John 4 and shares her own story of coming to Christ and learning to relate to other Christians. A Credible Witness tells you why both types of reconciliation are necessary, and moves you to be a person whose evangelism happens through a right relationship with God and others.”

In the 1680s the slave trade was still in its infancy. In the Americas, virulent religious and class divisions, prejudice and oppression were rife, providing the fertile soil in which slavery and race hatred were planted and took root…”

America Beyond Black and White by Ronald Fernandez
“The book is an impassioned call for a new way of imagining race and ethnicity in America. For the first time in U.S. history, the black-white dichotomy that historically has defined race and ethnicity is being challenged, not by a small minority, but by the fastest-growing and arguably most vocal segment of the increasingly diverse American population — Mexicans, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Indians, Arabs, and many more — who are breaking down and recreating the very definitions of race.”

Dismantling Racism by Joseph Barndt
“Racism has reemerged, dramatically and forcefully. All of us — people of color and white people alike — are damaged by its debilitating effects. In this book, the author addresses the “majority,” the white race in the United States. Racism permeates the individual attitudes and behavior of white people, but even more seriously, it permeates public systems, institutions, and culture. This book does not intend to attack or to produce guilt, but its message is tough and demanding.”

Globalizing Theology by Netland and Ott
“In nearly every realm–political, economic, cultural, ethnic, and religious–traditional boundaries are disappearing and people worldwide are more interconnected than ever. Recent decades have also seen the globalization of Christianity and the accompanying shift in the center of gravity of Christianity from the West to the southern hemisphere and Asia. As these realities take deeper root, scholars, students, and church leaders must grapple with the implications for theological reflection and method, not to mention missiological practice.”

Let the Nations Be Glad! by John Piper
“If I had to choose only one book on missions, Let the Nations Be Glad! would be it–precisely because it’s about so much more than missions.

Don’t read it unless you’re willing to have your eyes reopened to the highest possible motive for being about the business of reaching the world for Christ.”–Duane Litfin, president, Wheaton College

Race, Racism, and the Biblical Narratives by Cain Hope Felder
” Felder’s important work clarifies the profound differences in racial attitudes in the biblical world and now. He shows processes at work in both testaments that reflect ancient ambiguity about what we call race. He uncovers misuses of the biblical text (such as the so-called curse of Ham) in subsequent interpretation and shows how the Bible has been used to trivialize African contributions and demean and enslave black people. Felder challenges scholars and church people alike to deeper and more honest engagement with the biblical text.”
