Overview
The 2020 murder of George Floyd ignited a racial firestorm throughout America, provoking lament and grief over a long history of tragedy. The widespread protests gave way to a heated discussion about terms such as systemic racism, white privilege, and Critical Race Theory, all framed by the slogan "black lives matter." The beginnings of a helpful dialogue on diversity became a heated battle, one that quickly spread to the church.
Drawing on forty years of ministry experience, Tony Evans writes with a fearless and prophetic voice, probing to the heart of the issue and pointing to God's Word as the solution. Kingdom Race Theology helps people and churches commit to restitution, reconciliation, and responsibility. His penetrating and practical ideas will help pastors and church leaders sort through the conflicting theories, finding sensible solutions in the form of individual and collective action plans. Christians can work together across racial lines to repair the damage done by a long history of racial injustice.

Kingdom Race Theology by Dr. Tony Evans is a great new book advancing a theoretical framework for race and theology. Evans’ message is that the different unsuccessful human efforts to bridge our racial divide cannot succeed on their own. Instead, we need a spiritual solution. “We have far too many people running to sociology books before searching the Scripture,” Evans writes. This book is wonderfully written and takes a holistic approach to race and theology. Evans does a good job examining Black Lives Matter, Critical Race Theory, and the 1619 Project. He finds that each fails to meet the biblical standard. This book shows us what the Bible says and then relates it to a holistic approach. I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars for a must-read philosophy on what Christians should do in the midst of our world's racial crisis. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.
