Disruptive Christian Ethics: When Racism and Women's Lives Matter

DISRUPTIVE CHRISTIAN ETHICS ILLUMINAT3S THE PERSISTANCE OF RACISM AND ITS COMMINGLING WITH SEXISM, AND IT HAMMERS HOME THE POINT THAT CHRISTIAN ETHICS IS SUPPOSED TO DISRUPT THE CORRUPT BUSINESS-AS-USUAL APPROACH TO HUMAN LIFE. THE ANALYSIS OF CHURCH WORSHIP AND WHITE SUPERIORITY IS ESPECIALLY INCISIVE--SHOWING HOW THE VERY CENTER OF THE CHRISTIAN MESSAGE, CHRIST'S ATONEMENT FOR HUMAN SIN, HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE TWISTED INTO JUSTIFICATIONS FOR RACISM.
