<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>White normativity as a way of being in the world has been parasitically joined to Christianity, and this is the ground of many of our problems today. Written by a world-class roster of scholars, this volume develops language to describe the current realities of race and racism, challenging evangelical Christianity to think more critically and constructively about race, ethnicity, migration, and mission in relation to white supremacy.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Yes, White people <em>can</em> 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, <em>Can "White" People Be Saved?</em> 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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><i>Can 'White' People Be Saved?</i> is a collection of fine essays by thoughtful scholars, and it is a necessary read for anyone interested in the current discourse around race, theology, mission, and Christian identity. . . . All told, the volume represents a significant and well-executed step forward in the difficult but necessary work of disentangling evangelicalism from the structures of white supremacy that continue to be a significant part of life--both political and ecclesial--in North America.</p>--Sam P. Davidson, Theology in Scotland<br>
