  What is Critical Race Theory? 
   
   
   
  It may be one of the most widely referenced issues of the day, but it's also one of the least understood. In its translation from the academic world to the general public, Critical Race Theory (CRT) has inaccurately become a catch-all term for anything related to race. But what does it actually mean, and how should Christians engage it? 
   
   
   
  Ed Uszynski—whose PhD in American culture studies navigated readings in Marxism, Critical Theory, and Critical Race Theory—carefully unpacks what critical race theorists seek to accomplish and what Christians can learn from them. Uszynski generously explores CRT's roots, context, and central tenets, revealing how its insights are used and distorted but also how they might benefit the church. With responsible answers to legitimate concerns, Uszynski goes beyond the surface to provide a reliable path of just discernment and cultural engagement.

  Africa on the Precipice (ATP) provides commentary on global geopolitics, economics, and world history, using African interests as a lens to give a different perspective on world events. The book specifically explores how and why Africa has not fared well in the ‘battle of civilizations’ (or global geopolitics) from the 15th century until present times. ATP also presents a bold blueprint to make African countries dominant on the international stage through an ideology originated by the author called ‘Afro-Hegemonism’.  
  ATP sounds the alarm for African countries that they must undergo transformational socioeconomic restructuring by 2030. The consequence of not doing so, will see Africans continue to be a global underclass in a geopolitical landscape that is quickly evolving. Moreover, the ultimate price for not embracing revolutionary change now, could see Africans permanently lose their sovereignty, treasure, and freedom in the 21st century.

  Power and Innocence - A Search...

  Rollo May

  Stressing the positive, creative aspects of power and innocence, Rollo May offers a way of thinking about the problems of contemporary society. 
   
   
   
  Rollo May defines power as the ability to cause or prevent change; innocence, on the other hand, is the conscious divesting of one's power to make it seem a virtue, a form of powerlessness that Dr. May sees as particularly American in nature. From these basic concepts he suggests a new ethic that sees power as the basis for both human goodness and evil. 
   
   
   
  Dr. May discusses five levels of power's potential in each of us: the infant's power to be; self-affirmation, the ability to survive with self-esteem; self-assertion, which develops when self-affirmation is blocked; aggression, a reaction to thwarted assertion; and, finally, violence, when reason and persuasion are ineffective.

  Spinoza - Freedom's Messiah

  Ian Buruma explores the life and death of Baruch Spinoza, the Enlightenment thinker whose belief in freedom of thought and speech resonates in our own time 
   
   
    
  Baruch (Benedictus) Spinoza (1632–1677) was a radical free thinker who led a life guided by strong moral principles despite his disbelief in an all-seeing God. Seen by many as Satan's disciple during his lifetime, Spinoza has been regarded as a secular saint since his death. Many contradictory beliefs have been attached to his name: rationalism or metaphysics, atheism or pantheism, liberalism or despotism, Jewishness or anti-Semitism. However, there is no question that he viewed freedom of thought and speech as essential to an open and free society. 
   
   
    
  In this insightful account, the award-winning author Ian Buruma stresses the importance of the time and place that shaped Spinoza, beginning with the Sephardim of Amsterdam and followed by the politics of the Dutch Republic. Though Spinoza rejected the basic assumptions of his family's faith, and was consequently expelled from his Sephardic community, Buruma argues that Spinoza did indeed lead a modern Jewish life. To Heine, Hess, Marx, Freud, and no doubt many others today, Spinoza exemplified how to be Jewish without believing in Judaism. His defense of universal freedom is as important for our own time as it was in his.
