Privilege is a social consequence of our unwillingness to reckon with and turn from sin. But stewarded, it can help us see and participate in God's inbreaking kingdom. Scripture repeatedly affirms that privilege is real and declares that, rather than exploiting it for selfish gain or feeling immobilized by it, Christians have a responsibility to leverage it. Subversive Witness asks us to grapple with privilege, indifference, and systemic sin in new ways by using biblical examples to reveal the complex nature of privilege and Christians' responsibility in stewarding it well.

Great and Compellind Read
Revisado: 09-08-21
I really enjoyed the fresh voice of the reader. His voice was young and fresh, not so "matured" by years of experience in the field. This his reading sounds more like the voice of the author, whom I've heard speak, remaining true to the spirit of the work.

Many White Christians are eager to fight against racism and for racial justice. But what steps can they take to make good, lasting change? How can they get involved without unintentionally doing more harm than good?

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 238
From Lewis and Clark's 1804 expedition to the 2014 uprising in Ferguson, American history has been made in St. Louis. And as Walter Johnson shows in this searing book, the city exemplifies how imperialism, racism, and capitalism have persistently entwined to corrupt the nation's past. St. Louis was a staging post for Indian removal and imperial expansion, and its wealth grew on the backs of its poor Black residents, from slavery through redlining and urban renewal.

One of the Most Important Books About St. Louis
Revisado: 08-01-20
This book is one of the most important books about St. Louis and should be required reading for every leader of any major organization and/or company. The author successfully weaves a story of the region's unwillingness and inability to address the most pressing issues of racism and inequality and how that failing has shaped the region's growth, decline, fragmentation, unrest, and will continue to shape its future. He also ends with how the resulting resilience, especially of those who lack traditional power, wealth and position find ways to thrive, in spite if the inequities.

You cannot discover lands already inhabited. Injustice has plagued American society for centuries. And we cannot move toward being a more just nation without understanding the root causes that have shaped our culture and institutions. In this prophetic blend of history, theology, and cultural commentary, Mark Charles and Soong-Chan Rah reveal the far-reaching, damaging effects of the "Doctrine of Discovery."

Unsettled by Truths of America's Not-So Greatness
Revisado: 01-06-20
if you care about this nation's history, about justice, and about working effectively in conciliation work, then you have to read this book. The truths regarding the heresy of the "doctrine of discovery" and how the doctrine was the foundation of western (at-any - cost) expansionism are disturbing, but truths that must be learned and headed.

Flourishing people are strong and weak. Two common temptations lure us away from abundant living: withdrawing into safety and grasping for power. True flourishing, says Andy Crouch, travels down an unexpected path - being both strong and weak. We see this unlikely mixture in the best leaders - people who use their authority for the benefit of others while also showing extraordinary willingness to face and embrace suffering.

Brilliant

A provoking and brilliant continuation of the conversation Crouch has been engaged in his books Culture Making and Playing God. A very welcomed addition to how we understand flourishing.
