Original Blessing: Putting Sin in Its Rightful Place

Belief in the doctrine of Original Sin is firmly held by many Christians, but it turns out that it's not necessarily biblical. Further, argues Danielle Shroyer, it's bad for people and bad for the church. In Original Blessing, Shroyer shows not only how we got it wrong, but how we can put sin back in its rightful place: in a broader context of redemption and the blessing of humanity's creation in the image of God.

The Death of Race: Building a New Christianity in a Racial World

Brian Bantum says that race is not merely an intellectual category or a biological fact. It is a deeply theological problem, one that is central to the Christian story and that plays out daily in the United States and throughout the world. Our attempts to heal racism will not succeed unless we address a fallen understanding of our bodies. He examines the question of race, but through the lens of our bodies and what our bodies mean in the midst of a racialized world that perpetually dehumanizes dark bodies.
