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.

America's racial conflict isn't over--and the current discussion hasn't brought us any closer. Bestselling author Tony Evans answers with a fearless and prophetic voice:
We are living in a time of racial chaos, confusion, and conflict. The painful history of our country's racial divide continues to plague us, with no apparent resolution in sight. We, the church, have allowed these battles to divide people of faith even more deeply than before--we cannot afford this! Our sons and daughters--whether black, white, or any other color--cannot afford this. The solutions to the issues we face today are found only by applying a biblical and divine standard as the answer--a Kingdom Race Theology.
