  Christianity and Critical Race...

  Robert Chao Romero, Jeff M. Liou

  Critical Race Theory (CRT) has become a lightning rod in American politics and evangelical Christianity. This book offers a critical but constructive and sympathetic introduction to CRT written from a perspective rooted in Scripture and Christian theology. The authors take us beyond caricatures and misinformation to consider how CRT can be an analytical tool to help us understand persistent inequality and injustice—and to see how Christians and churches working for racial justice can engage CRT in faithful and constructive ways. 
   
   
   
  The authors explore aspects of CRT that resonate with well-trod Christian doctrine but also that challenge or are corrected by Christian theology. They also address the controversial connection that critics see between CRT and Marxism. Their aim is to offer objective analysis and critique that go beyond the debates about social identity and the culture wars and aid those who are engaging the issues in Christian life and ministry. Reflection/discussion questions, exercises, a glossary of key CRT terms, and suggested readings make the book helpful for students or small groups.

  Medieval Architecture and Legacy...

  These three works highlight how architecture and intellectual ambition shaped the heart of the Middle Ages and left a legacy that endures to this day. 
  Begin with The Gothic Cathedral, a stunning symbol of spiritual devotion and engineering genius. Soaring spires, flying buttresses, and luminous stained glass windows combined to create sacred spaces that lifted hearts and minds toward heaven. These architectural marvels not only defined the skyline of medieval Europe but also reflected the era’s complex religious and social structures. 
  Next, delve into The Carolingian Renaissance, a revival of learning, literacy, and classical influence under Charlemagne's rule. This movement sparked architectural innovation, preserved ancient knowledge, and laid the foundations for a more cohesive European identity during a time of fragmentation and uncertainty. 
  Conclude with The Italian City-States, hubs of commerce, culture, and politics. Their wealth and rivalry fueled a vibrant civic life and groundbreaking urban planning that blended practicality with beauty. From Florence to Venice, these city-states bridged the medieval and Renaissance worlds, forever changing the course of European history. 
  Together, these works offer a window into how medieval people built not only physical structures—but also enduring cultural legacies.
