Intensional
Racism Has a Cure
Issues of race and ethnicity are a source of profound pain and conflict-and the church is right in the middle of the problem. But it’s not supposed to be this way. The people of God are the only humans who have experienced true reconciliation. Who better to enter the ethnic tensions of our day with hope?
With thoughtful courage and practical guidance, pastor D. A. Horton casts a vision for living our Kingdom ethnicity-God’s people as one multicultural, multiethnic, multigenerational people.
Following Jesus holistically means holding in tension our unique ethnic heritages while being part of a new humanity. Only we can combat the hatred in our culture with the hope of Jesus Christ.
D. A. Horton is a Mexican-Choctaw-American church planter and speaker. He serves as an assistant professor of intercultural studies at California Baptist University and as pastor of Reach Fellowship in Long Beach, California. D. A. is working on his PhD in applied theology at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and is the author of seven books. He and his best friend, Elicia, have been married for fifteen years and have three children.
When it comes to the ethnic divisions in our world, we speak often of seeking racial reconciliation. But at no point have all the different ethnicities on Earth been reconciled. Animosity, distrust, and hostility among people from various ethnicities have always existed in American history. Even in the church, we have often built walls-ethnic segregation, classism, sexism, and theological tribes-to divide God’s people from each other.
But it shouldn’t be this way. God’s people are the only people on earth who have experienced true reconciliation. Who better to enter into the ethnic tensions of our day with the hope of Jesus?
In Intensional, pastor D. A. Horton steps into the tension to offer vision and practical guidance for Christians longing to embrace our Kingdom ethnicity, combating the hatred in our culture with the hope of Jesus Christ.
