So we have slowly been talking about the book Christianity and Critical Race Theory: A Faithful and Constructive Conversation by Robert Chao Romero and Jeff M. Liou to understand how these authors see Critical Race Theory as a helpful bridge for Christian witness, theological reflection, and pastoral ministry. In order to do that, it is important to understand what some of the foundational tenets of CRT are.
Today’s episode unpacks four of these core ideas so that listeners can understand a bit more what CRT is, and what these ideas are, that have shaped, as the authors state, four decades of interdisciplinary observations about the impact of culture, ethnicity and race and how they have operated in US history.
Let’s go now and listen, to this conversation.
