    It's time to move past talk. It's no longer news to most of us that our society has a deep-seated racism problem. Christians of all ethnic and economic backgrounds are tired of seeing the ugly legacy of racism play out before their eyes and feeling ill-equipped to respond. They watch as friends and family members leave the visible church over this issue, or fall prey to a gospel of White nationalism that is an affront to the cross of Christ.
    Racism presents itself as an undefeatable foe—a sustained scourge on the reputation of the church. In Faithful Antiracism, Christina Barland Edmondson and Chad Brennan take confidence from the truth that Christ has overcome the world, including racism, and offer clear analysis and interventions to challenge and resist its pernicious power. Drawing on brand-new research from the landmark Race, Religion, and Justice Project led by Michael Emerson and others, this book represents the most comprehensive study on Christians and race since Emerson's own book Divided by Faith (2001). It invites readers to put this data to immediate practical use, applying it to their own specific context.
    Compelled by our grievous social moment and by the timeless truth of Scripture, Faithful Antiracism will equip readers to move past talk and enter the fight against racism in both practical and hopeful ways.

    Uncircumcised Gentiles

    Uncircumcised Gentiles is about identifying who gentiles are in the Bible and today and what it means to be uncircumcised in your heart and mind, not in the flesh. One of the biggest misunderstandings about gentiles in the Bible is that everyone that is not a blood related Israelite is a gentile, which is partially correct. My research goes back to the beginning of the Bible to search for answers to some of the most sought out questions from Christians and biblical scholars concerning who gentiles are and their role in the kingdom of heaven. Who created the Bible? Is it a “Christian” book? did God choose one nation of people to interact with? why did God only give laws, statues, and commandments to Israelites? why did he choose Israel to be his holy people? why is there no records of God giving prophesy to gentile nations? Why did God dislike gentiles, yet still wanted Israel to bring his message to them? all these questions and more will be addressed in this book and hopefully give the reader a better understanding of the Bible why God gave us instructions, laws, and commandments for all men to live by. If we followed these laws and commandments, will it make us better people?
