Publisher's Synopsis
Seeking To Be Christian In Race Relations by Benjamin Elijah Mays is a thought-provoking and insightful book that explores the intersection of Christianity and race relations in America. The author, a prominent African American theologian and civil rights leader, draws on his own experiences and the teachings of the Bible to offer a powerful critique of the ways in which racism has been perpetuated within the church and society at large.Mays argues that true Christianity must be rooted in a commitment to racial justice and equality, and that Christians have a moral obligation to work towards dismantling systems of oppression and discrimination. He examines the historical context of racism in America, from slavery to Jim Crow to the present day, and offers a compelling vision for how Christians can work towards a more just and equitable society.Throughout the book, Mays challenges readers to examine their own beliefs and actions, and to consider how they can contribute to the fight for racial justice. He offers practical suggestions for how individuals and communities can work towards reconciliation and healing, and emphasizes the importance of listening to and learning from those who have been marginalized and oppressed.Overall, Seeking To Be Christian In Race Relations is a powerful and inspiring call to action for Christians who are committed to building a more just and equitable world. It is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the intersection of faith and social justice, and who wants to be part of the solution to the ongoing problem of racism in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
